Join us celebrate our graduating students

And immerse yourself in school life

You’re invited to join the highlight of St Jude’s academic calendar, the annual Form 6 secondary school student graduation, to witness first-hand how education is fighting poverty in Tanzania.

You’ll enjoy a nine-day itinerary full of activities you’ll remember forever. The celebration begins with a welcome dinner and a traditional barbecue feast, followed by student interactions across our three campuses, opportunities to learn about our holistic curriculum and school spirit, and glimpses into the lives of our students, alumni and wider community. You’ll explore education, sport, culture, art and food, and you might even spot some wildlife.

It all leads up to the best part of your trip, the Form 6 Graduation on Saturday 23 May. You’ll join the whole school for a day of vibrant performances, inspiring speeches, awards, music and plenty of cheers, seated right up front with the best view in the house.

Form 6 scholarship sponsors are invited to meet and spend time with their graduating student however as we expect to have about over 200 Form 6 students graduating in 2026, this is an open invitation to everyone and there will be plenty to celebrate.

As you’ll see in the Form 6 Graduation 2026 itinerary and prices PDF below, there’s something and everything for everyone to enjoy!
