On Saturday, pupils from the Children's University Tasmania had the chance to don their gowns and mortarboards to graduate.

Education Minister Jeremy Rockliff said Saturday was a celebration of education.

"It's fantastic that we have our Children's University graduates walking alongside in the graduation ceremony the University of Tasmania graduates," he said.

"The initiative rewards participation in learning activities such as sports, museums, environment and wildlife organisations, with students receive a stamp in their passport for each activity.

"We know that lifelong opportunities stem from a quality education, and our commitment to education in Tasmania is no matter what your circumstance, no matter where you live in Tasmania, you have a right to access a quality, inclusive education."

Mr Rockliff said he commended the University of Tasmania and the Peter Underwood Centre Education Attainment for their work with the Children's University.

"It's fantastic that we can create an environment within our schools that celebrates education and celebrates achievement and aspiration among young people."

Tasmania was the second state to adopt the program, which was based on a model in the United Kingdom. It was first launched in Australia by the University of Adelaide.

Alongside the Children's University, more than 800 students from the University of Tasmania attended ceremonies at Albert Hall on Friday and Saturday.

Launceston Pro Vice-Chancellor Dominic Geraghty said the ceremonies were a special event for both graduates and their families and friends, and marked both the end of a period of hard work and achievement and the beginning of a new stage in life.
