Our journey might have had a rocky start but looking at how far we’ve come, and the accomplishments achieved, I continue to be proud towards our students and our institution.”
This would be the second, physical graduation and awards ceremony that MCKL held after the Covid-19 pandemic. MCKL fell back to organising a virtual one last year September in consideration for everybody’s safety.
