Our high school has something called Convocation the day before graduation. It is held in the school auditorium. They recognize IB diplomates and give out scholarships and departmental awards

The term Convocation seems to have a lot of different meanings, so people should look into what it means in their local context. At our high school, what is described above was called “Awards Night”. “Convocation” was a religious-based ceremony that was not part of the official school program but was advertised as an open to all activity.
