Graduation & Awards

SuniTAFE takes celebrating the achievements of our students, industry partners and staff very seriously, and the SuniTAFE Awards represent the pinnacle of achievement. SuniTAFE holds a graduation ceremony each year for those students who successfully complete a diploma or advanced diploma qualification.

There are a range of award categories designed to celebrate the fantastic achievements of our students, teachers, staff and employers from the Mildura and Swan Hill Campuses! These awards also include the presentations of local and SuniTAFE Scholarships such as the Chances for Children Scholarship, Dr Alan Antcliff AM Memorial Scholarship and more.
