The specialisations in the two levels concerned sports-physical education, hotel school (culinary arts and management), car mechanics, computer-accounting, theatrical arts and fine arts.

Attending the graduation ceremony were, essentially, the students' family members, all dressed in togas and hats. For the families it was a really exciting moment and they did not fail to applaud warmly every time the various names were announced. The two best students of the year, in addition to the recognition, also received an award.

The Principal of the Institute, in drawing up the balance sheet of the past year and the results achieved which make Don Bosco Technique a cutting-edge school throughout Lebanon, also outlined the traits of possible future developments, including at the level of any international collaborations.

Fr Simon Zakerian, Superior of the Jesus the Adolescent Province of the Middle East (MOR) (which includes Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Israel and Egypt), urged the graduates to continue to develop in their future lives what they have sown in the years of their stay in the Salesian Institute, treasuring above all the teachings of Don Bosco. He also announced that, as part of an increasing collaboration with the laity, the MOR Province has taken the decision to appoint Joe Atallah, Salesian Cooperator, as head of a Board of Directors, as Executive Director of all three Salesian works in Lebanon: the "Don Bosco Technique" in Al Fidar, the reception centre and oratory in El Houssoun and the Angels of Peace school for Iraqi refugees in Beirut.

The evening took place in a typically Salesian atmosphere of celebration and cheerfulness and was enlivened by the culinary preparations of the hotel school students.
