Graduation Information

 

Grad Photos
Book your grad photo while appointments are still available using the school code KNM.


Edge Imaging Pop-Up Studio is available if you are unable to attend ND for your graph photo.

Please note that photos taken off-site (at the pop-up studio) will not appear in the graduation composite. Retakes will also not appear in the graduation composite.

Clothing Recommendations:

  • a collared shirt or blouse always complements the gown nicely
  • pair a buttoned up collar with a tie in a colour that works with the gown
  • a tank top style shirt will not be visible in the V neck of the gown

Ordering Your Grad Gown

The size of your gown is determined by your height.

The gown should reach down to your mid-calf and height should be measured with flat shoes/barefoot, from the head to bottom of the foot.

 

Please note that the gown widths do not increase with size.
Wearing Your Grad Gown
  1. When you receive your gown and cap with the silver vee-stole and tassel, put them away safely until you can take them home - there are NO REPLACEMENTS. 

  2. Take the package home and open it up. The cap is wrapped in he gown.  Check the gown for any damage, and then hang it up so any wrinkles release by graduation.  Do not iron the gown.

  3. DO NOT DECORATE THE CAP.

  4. GRAD DAY: Come to the venue and put the gown on and zip it up.  The zipper goes in the front.

  5. Put the silver vee-stole over the gown.  The LONG TAIL goes to the back.  The seams should be on the shoulders. 

  6. Attach the tassel to the button on top of the cap.  You can wrap the string once around the button to secure the tassel.  DO NOT PULL TOO HARD ON THE BUTTON - it will pop off!

  7. The cap has a front and a back.  The front is the longer flat edge - the shorter flat edge is the back.  The scrunchy elastic edges are the sides.  Put the cap on with the longer flat edge tot he front.  You may need to use bobby pins useful in securing the cap over your hair.

  8. Put the tassel on the LEFT hand side.
