Filomena College MAVO held its 2026 diploma ceremony at the Renaissance Convention Center. A total of 60 students received and signed the diplomas they worked so hard for. The DJ was Eli and the MC was Mr. Addonsito Croes. A unique moment occurred when the “Juf Baly 2026” award was presented to the top graduate of the 2026 exams. It was presented by the widower of the late teacher Anuesca Baly, Mr. Rob van den Brink. Also on stage were Christopher Lake of ASTEC NV and the interim director of SKOA, Jessica Irausquin. Channery Dania was the student who received the award, which will be an annual honor.
During this evening, director Raquel Lampe received a beautiful tribute, as this was her final graduation ceremony as director of Filomena MAVO. Deputy director Joraine Oduber presented a certificate of excellence to Raquel Lampe. In her speech, she thanked everyone for the affection and trust placed in Filomena College MAVO and its team. Former director Mr. Ebby Goedgedrag was also in attendance.
Congratulations to every student, parent, and teacher. Results like these are proof that the majority of Aruba’s youth are on the right path! Success in this new chapter.
