The Academic Graduation and Tahfiz Graduation Ceremony of Al Siddiq International Kindergarten pupils was held on Monday, 1 June 2026, at the Auditorium of Darma Persada University. The event marked a special milestone for all kindergarten pupils, particularly those in Kindergarten B, who had successfully completed their early years of education. It also served as a celebration for pupils who had completed the memorisation of the Holy Qur’an, specifically Juz 30 and Juz 29.
The Academic Graduation Ceremony was organised to honour the achievements, learning journey, and personal development of the Kindergarten B pupils throughout their time at Al Siddiq International Kindergarten. More than simply marking the completion of their kindergarten education, the ceremony symbolised the children’s readiness to progress to primary school. Through this occasion, the pupils gained a greater appreciation of achievement, developed confidence in appearing before an audience, and felt proud of the efforts they had made throughout their learning journey.
The benefits of the Academic Graduation Ceremony are significant for the Kindergarten B pupils. It provides them with a memorable experience that strengthens their self-confidence and encourages a lifelong enthusiasm for learning. For parents, the event offers an opportunity to witness their children’s growth in independence, social skills, and readiness to embark on the next stage of education. For the school, the ceremony reflects its commitment to supporting each child’s holistic development to the highest standard.
Alongside the Academic Graduation, the event also featured the Tahfiz Graduation Ceremony for pupils who had successfully memorised Juz 30 and Juz 29. Six Kindergarten B pupils proudly participated in this special occasion: Reno, Nala, Shofiyyah, Sofia, Ameera, and Raisya. The Tahfiz Graduation aimed to recognise the children’s dedication and perseverance in memorising the Holy Qur’an from an early age. It also sought to nurture a deep love for the Qur’an, encourage children to remain closely connected to the words of Allah, and inspire them to preserve and continue expanding their memorisation.
The programme commenced with an opening by the Master of Ceremonies, who guided the event with dignity and order. This was followed by the entrance procession of the graduates into the auditorium. It was a deeply moving and proud moment as the children walked confidently and gracefully before their teachers, parents, and distinguished guests.
The ceremony then proceeded with the Academic Graduation. During this procession, the Kindergarten B pupils were presented with graduation medals and certificates in recognition of completing their kindergarten education. Each child was celebrated for the remarkable journey they had undertaken—from learning letters and numbers, building friendships, participating actively in classroom activities, to growing into more independent and confident individuals.
Following the Academic Graduation, the Tahfiz Graduation Ceremony took place. Pupils who had successfully completed the memorisation of Juz 30 and Juz 29 received certificates as recognition of their outstanding achievement. The programme also featured a muraja’ah presentation, during which the pupils recited portions of the Qur’an they had memorised. Their performance demonstrated the results of their dedication, discipline, the guidance of their teachers, and the unwavering support of their parents at home.
One of the most touching moments of the Tahfiz Graduation was the presentation of crowns to the parents. This meaningful tradition symbolised the invaluable role parents play in accompanying and encouraging their children throughout their Qur’anic memorisation journey. Through this heartfelt ceremony, the children learned that their success was not solely the result of their own efforts, but also the outcome of their parents’ prayers, encouragement, and unconditional love.
With the successful completion of both the Academic Graduation and the Tahfiz Graduation Ceremony, it is hoped that the pupils of Al Siddiq International Kindergarten will continue to be inspired to pursue knowledge, embrace new challenges with confidence, and develop a lifelong love for the Holy Qur’an from an early age. More than a ceremonial event, this occasion will remain a treasured memory for the children, their parents, and the entire Al Siddiq International Kindergarten community.
