The 2009/10 Graduation Programme ceremony was held at the Wellington School of Cricket’s indoor facilities at Westpac Stadium on 3 June 2010 where Wellington Cricket celebrated the sucess of the nine graduating students.

The graduation evening was an opportunity for the inaugural graduating students to be rewarded for their hard work over the year and for them to share in their successes with other students and their families.

The ceremony was hosted by WSC Manager Asoka Weerasundara and featured a keynote address by recently appointed Cricket Wellington High Performance Manager Robbie Kerr, who highlighted the importance of hard work and enjoyment.

Kerr and 2009/10 course coordinator Glenn Pocknall awarded the certificates to the attending graduates.

Pocknall said that as well as the programme’s tremendous benefits to the students’ cricket ability, an equally pleasing aspect for the graduates was their own personal growth and improvement in self confidence over the duration of the course.

The next step for these graduated students is a year two course, which is currently being finalised by the WSC.

The following players graduated at the ceremony:

Sushant Balajee
Jason Benjamin (India)
Brent Compton (Australia- in absentia)
Oliver Flemmer
Tom Foster
James Malthus
Paul Ratual
Jack Sargintina
Nick Simons
Tobias Wevers

Sri Lankan student Prajeev Janze could not complete the course as he had to return to Sri Lanka.
