Graduation Celebration

Home / Graduation Celebration

Congratulations, Class of 2020!

What an incredible year it’s been! The COVID-19 pandemic transformed the teaching and learning experience in ways none of us expected. But you persevered through the changes—online education, physical distancing, and for some, illness and loss—with patience, creativity and resilience.

Now, it’s time to celebrate you and your accomplishments.

This year, we will not host a formal gathering. Instead, our celebration will be scaled back to incorporate the portrait photography and virtual video messages from SBCS, valedictorians and our academic partner universities.

UPDATE: Reservations of the Photography Sessions on November 26 and 27 are currently closed.

 

GRADUATION PORTRAITS

Photographs for the virtual Graduation Ceremonies shall be conducted BY APPOINTMENT ONLY at our Champs Fleurs campus. 

The Photography packages available are as follows:

In addition to the Photography Packages, the cost of the gown rental is TT$250.00. 

Our payment methods can be found here: SBCS Payment Methods.  Note that we also accept credit card payments through WiPay. If this is your preferred payment method, an invoice will be sent to you.
