Pride, achievement and excitement were in the air as Kingston College's Class of 2026 celebrated their graduation across five unforgettable ceremonies at Kingston’s Rose Theatre. As students crossed the stage to collect their certificates, they marked not only the completion of their studies but the beginning of exciting new chapters, cheered on by proud family members, friends and staff.
The celebrations were brought to life with outstanding performances from Music and Performing Arts – Dance students, while Theatre Production students worked alongside College staff and Rose Theatre technicians to ensure each ceremony ran seamlessly.
Graduates and guests enjoyed a vibrant atmosphere from the moment they arrived, with music, photographs and plenty of opportunities to capture the occasion with classmates, tutors and loved ones. The events provided a chance to reflect on achievements, celebrate new beginnings and create lasting memories.
College Principals Charlotte Veale and Edlyn Mamprin said: “Graduation is a moment to celebrate not only the qualification you have achieved, but also the resilience, commitment and growth that have brought you here. We are incredibly proud of everything our students have accomplished and look forward to seeing the positive impact they will make in their communities, workplaces and beyond. Congratulations to the Class of 2026.”
This wonderful feedback from a graduating student beautifully captures students’ sentiments throughout the day: “Thank you for your kindness, your encouragement and all the hard work you do for your students. You don't just place people into classes, you help them believe in themselves. I will always be grateful for your support and for giving me the confidence to begin this journey.”
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to making the ceremonies such a success. Congratulations once again to the Class of 2026 – we wish you every success for the future.
