Students from the VI graduating class of an educational center in Parla, many of whom have been part of the institution since its early days, concluded their school cycle in an event filled with meaning and sentiment. The ceremony not only represented the closing of an academic phase but also a moment of reflection on personal growth and the development of the school itself.
A central aspect of the graduation was the awarding of medals, an intimate gesture intended to place the students under the protection of the Sacred Heart of Jesus before they embarked on new paths. This act, accompanied by teachers, the director, and one of the chaplains, underscored the values and identity of the educational center.
“"Educating has never solely meant transmitting knowledge, but rather accompanying each student to help them discover who they are called to be."
The medal presented to the graduates carries rich symbolism. On its obverse, the image of Saint John Paul II, the school's patron, is surrounded by a laurel wreath symbolizing effort and victory. It also includes the figure of the Holy Spirit, a key element in the emblem of the Educatio Servanda Foundation, and the keys of Saint Peter alongside the papal tiara, symbolizing the school's connection to the Catholic Church and its Christian roots.
The reverse of the insignia features the Sacred Heart of Jesus, representing dedication, love, and guidance for the students' lives. This element aims to be a compass for young people in their future university, professional, and personal stages, reminding them of the values and purpose of life instilled during their education.
