Graduation Night 2011
Have you attended a graduation night? I’ve never been an attendee myself but ever since I’m tasked with the huge responsibility of organizing one, I’m both exhilarated and nervous. What if I don’t do a good job? What if there are unforeseen circumstances? So many what ifs have popped into my head! Putting the what-ifs aside, I’ve got to say that I’m very blessed to have wonderful colleagues and a supportive team which has stuck by me through the entire planning process from the picking of colours for the theme to the collation of the speeches from each of the class representatives. Sticking to what my HOD-in-charge said,” Losing sleep over matters you can’t do anything about is not worth it,” I decided to give it my best shot and did what I could with all the teachers that were involved.
As per past year tradition, a video would be made by the teachers specially for the graduates and here’s a peep at what this year’s video has:
Mr B standing in for Mr R
Big Foot?
Putting on the headgear
Putting on the tail
Ta-dah!
Playing with his tail
Miss F as Student. She looks the role isn't it?
Miss F, Miss C, Miss J hard at work to make the video
Alas, the day has arrived. We reached school early just to ensure that all the decorations and table set-ups remained the way they were when we left them the day before. Phew… Everything was intact. The teachers then went on to start preparing for the items they would need to complete the set-up before the students start streaming in.
The Performance by a group of talented students in the Canteen
Pink and Purple Ribbons For the Chairs
Sweets to fill the hungry tummy before dinner commence
Decorations for the Aisle
Matching Pink and Purple + Silver Balloons
Beautiful Setup isn't it? 😉

Photo Corner at the Reception Area
Balloons for the Stairs too
And in come the students!

With Yan, the important gal who led a team to oversee the lighting and sound
Miss F, who had helped me collated the speeches and videos
The event started with the students singing the school song with pride.
After they sang the school song, the students were seated and our Principal gave her address. Next, each class representative gave appreciation speeches and the makan took place straight after the introduction of the criteria for Mr & Miss PRCS. These contestants were well dressed, carried themselves well and looked every bit of what they wore. I was kept on my feet the entire evening and had forgotten all about taking photos of the events amidst the running about. As the night drew nearer and the event come close to an end, I was able to recompose myself for some photos with some of students whom I have yet to had a chance to talk to the entire evening.
