ABS graduating students were treated to lunch in celebration of the last 3 years of work they have put in to achieve their Bachelor of Business undergraduate degree, see link here to degree information. Students will attend graduation in December 2018, after finishing sitting their final exams in the next 2 weeks.
Graduating students have a range of majors from Accounting, to Marketing and Human Resource Management. Some students have already secured employment at organisations such as Sanitarium (https://www.sanitarium.com.au/), & Adventist Schools Australia (https://www.adventist.edu.au/).
Taking the students out to lunch was a chance for students to reflect on their journey, and give some feedback to lecturers on ways to enhance the journey for future students. Students shared stories on previous lecturers, and their quirks and lecturers also shared their experiences as an undergraduates. It was a great way for students to finish their final semester, and shows the importance of the care and service that ABS staff show towards their students. Clearly small class sizes enhances the student-teacher relationship, making it one of trust and care, instilling confidence in the students for their future success upon graduation.
The graduation ceremony will be held on Sunday, 9th December, 2018. Before that, students also celebrate graduation with a student dinner, breakfast with Avondale Staff and finally lunch with the President on graduation day. The ABS expects approximately 15 students to graduate this year, with three students making the journey from our Melbourne offering on the day.
We wish all graduating students from ABS well in their future, and will take pleasure in adding them to our ever growing list of successful Alumni. We also take pride in introducing them to the necessary business skill of “doing lunch”, where so many important negotiations in business take place.
