La cérémonie de remise du diplôme, aujourd'hui incontournable, a rassemblé plus de 200 personnes dans la cour de l'établissement privé.

This is a tradition established in 2015: the baccalaureate graduation ceremony took place, once again, at the start of the year, within the ;rsquo;Saint-Stanislas institution. Of the ninety-four high school graduates identified by the private establishment, sixty-six winners, dressed in black togas, with mortarboard (hat symbolizing academic success) on their heads, returned to their former high school, accompanied by their family. In total, more than two hundred people sat in the courtyard around a red carpet.
Sophie Auphan, head of the establishment, opened the ceremony, recalling the existence of middle and high school microphones which offer teenagers suffering from school phobia the possibility of continuing their studies: very moved, Léna said ;rsquo;elsewhere testified about her career, she who obtained the end-of-studies diploma with honors. Alice, valedictorian of the class of 2023 with an average of 19.23 for the baccalaureate, then gave a speech full of humor to thank the entire Saint-Stanislas community, in particular the head teachers of the three classes of final year, including one in the technological sector in ST2S (Health and Social Sciences and Techniques).

Then it's time for the winners who climbed onto the stage, called by Rizlaine Diche, deputy director, to receive their diploma. Note that many students received a mention: six Very Good, including one with congratulations from the jury, 29 Good mentions and 31 Fairly good mentions. Nice memory of this morning full of emotions and reunions, a group photo of each class with their teachers.
And, then of course, following the Anglo-Saxon tradition, imported to France, the ceremony ended with the throwing of headdresses and the cries of joy of the graduates.
