SBSA graduation Cohort 2021-2023

Horisha Savy clinches the President’s Cup.

Graduation day was on Friday 5 April 2024and saw the greatest number of graduates. A total of 207 graduates proudly collected their certificates after completing the full-time Diploma programmes, the full-time and part-time certificate programmes, plus the part-time Association of Accounting Technician (AAT) courses.

During the ceremony 20 graduates obtained awards ranging from Best Effort to Most Outstanding Performer, to Governing Board Award and others.

As is the case each year, SBSA also recognised its staff members who had completed their own training either with the academy itself or with other local institutions or online. This is done each year to showcase achievements of the staff members alongside the graduates as well as to give the learners a view of continuous professional development even while in employment, something the academy wants its graduates to keep on doing.

Nathalia Pillay, a graduate from the Diploma in Accounting and Finance, was awarded this year’s Medal of Academic Excellence, after also being awarded the Most Outstanding Performer for her programme and the AAT Award which is conveyed to the graduate who has excelled in the AAT exams.

Horisha Savy, a graduate from the Diploma in Business Management and Administration, was awarded the most coveted award – the President’s cup.

Graduating cohort 2021-2023 has been deemed the Best Cohort Everdue to the fact that this is the first time the academy records such a large number of graduates scoring a Distinction (85% and above) as Cumulative Grade Point Average; there were 31 Distinctions recorded compared to 11 for cohort 2020-2022 and less than 10 for other previous years. The academy continues to enjoy excellent performance of its learners despite still facing issues of sharing the Unisey campus.
