Janet, we do have graduation ceromonies here, but not nearly as nice as what you guys are use to.
Here the kids dont wear gowns and hats.
Each kid gets called to the front to recieve their diploma, and shake hands with mentors and director.
Afterwards they have drinks and snacks for pupils and parents, we werent even allowed to bring friends or relatives because the hall was too small.

Most kids do have their own graduation party after the ceromonie on different dates and invite friends and classmates.

Tradition is that once you are informed that you have passed all the exams, is to hang a flag above the frontdoor with a backpack.
I'll try to find a picture of the flag.
