Peam Village Foundation School celebrated a meaningful and memorable graduation ceremony on July 22, 2026. This marked an important milestone for our young students and community, honouring the hard work, perseverance and dedication of the students and teachers. We look forward to their bright academic futures with much expectations!
The ceremony took place under the shelter of an open-air tentage with a cloudy sky and soft winds. The graduates were smartly dressed in graduation gowns with mortarboards. Guests — including Puok District Education Officers, Peam Primary principal, representative of English school board, and local police official — witnessed the achievements of our young graduates alongside their proud families and dedicated teachers.
The ceremony started with the respectful observance of the Cambodian National Anthem, followed by encouraging speeches from a representative of Puok District Education, Mr Tho Sam Ol, and Principal of Peam Primary , Mr Soi Seng.
“It is a good thing that Christian school comes alongside to help developing human resource and to support education in rural area.” – Mr Tho Sam Ol, representative of Puok District Education
I am very proud to see grade 6 students graduate today. Peam Village Foundation School is such a big help to us.” – Mr Soi Seng, Principal of Peam Primary
These affirmations from the leaders of the community greatly touched us. We are after all on the same page of building up the next generation. After their speech, a student representative shared their heartfelt reflections and expressed their deepest gratitude to all parents and guardians for the encouragement, sacrifices, and unwavering support for their education.
The graduates performed two English songs glorifying God, bringing a smile to everyone’s face. The ceremony climaxed with the award of certificates of a successful 4-year study of basic English. When calling the names, we could see the eagerness and smiling faces from our graduates and their parents. One by one, graduates crossed the stage and took their certificates with pride. Together, we clapped our hands to celebrate their achievement and encourage them that this day was not the end of their learning journey. They had just opened the new chapter of becoming teenagers, and of their further studies.
