The ceremony began with Lin Huihui and Zhang Luoyu’s musical composition “Liang Zhu” playing the violin and piano as the seventy-two graduates entered the hall.

Chapter two

During his speech, Principal Huang Wei reported that seventy two UFS graduates (99%) had been admitted into Australian Group of Eight universities and this was an excellent result. The average GPA of Commerce stream students ranks first and Science stream students, second. Compared to the results from 2014, those students achieving excellent results have reached a new level. The principal pointed out that no matter what students were striving for, the school is their most loyal supporter and will assist students in achieving their goals by any means possible. He looks forward to hearing good news regarding their achievements in the future!

A video depicting the growth of UFS graduates brought back many fond memories and reminded the students of how they had transformed since joining the program.

Principal Zhang Shimin awarded Wang Yifang with a certificate and trophy for being named the “Global Campion of UFS”.

Dr. He, the chairman of AHEAD Education spoke about raising expectations for all graduates and expressed thanks to all the teachers. He presented awards to Michal and AJ for their excellent work throughout the year.


Students and teachers then recalled special memories from their time spent in the UFS program. The teachers’ wishes to the students were heartfelt and caused a few tears among the students. In response, students presented gifts and flowers to express thanks to the teachers.


Finally, Principal Zhang Shimin announced the official graduation of the students.


Chapter three

It is the truth that at 18 years of age, students become adults and parents are increasing in age. As an adult you have more responsibilities and more tasks. The UFS parent representative gave the following speech: “To be an adult means having full political rights and obligations as well as shouldering more responsibilities to family, strengthening the nation and helping to construct the country.” This was an unforgettable ‘Coming-of-age Ceremony’ with many thanks and much affection. UFS graduates surprised their parents with a letter and a big hug. 

Led by Zhao Jiankang, a well-respected teacher, all students solemnly took the oath while raising their right fist to the shoulder. The ceremony was concluded with a song to mark this occasion.



Chapter Four:

UFS sisters and brothers performed wonderfully in expressing their best wishes to the graduates. The High School Affiliated to Nanjing Normal University, Jiangning Campus also presented gifts to the graduates and wished them all every success in February 2017.
