This wasn’t just a graduation; it was a moment to recognise the effort and potential of every student stepping into the world. The day kicked off with an uplifting welcome address by Gary Neville. His powerful words about making higher education accessible and diverse set the tone for the day’s events.

A Modern Take on Traditional Graduation Ceremonies
UA92’s graduation was a showcase of traditional elements with an innovative spin. String Infusion’s uplifting music filled the air while Argh Kid, aka David Scott, delivered an inspiring poetic performance. As the sun set, DJ SteveO’s beats had the crowd dancing and celebrating.
“In true UA92 style, we wanted to deliver a graduation experience that was deliberately different,” said Stacey Anderson, Head of Marketing at UA92. And, working hand-in-hand with UA92, we at Saving Grace Events strived to make that vision come to life.
