Thousands of University of Canterbury students have braved a grey, drizzly Christchurch day as part of a record-breaking number of graduations this week. This year’s December event is the largest in the university’s 147-year history, with six graduation ceremonies and two celebration events at the Christchurch Town Hall between Monday and Friday this week. Nearly 3000 students will be graduating, after the Covid-19 lockdown earlier this year forced April graduations to be postponed. A September event was postponed due to Alert Level 2 restrictions.
