The Annual School Formal was held in the lovely LaMon Hotel and Country Club on Thursday 11 February 2010.

As you can imagine, there had been a lot of anticipation and excitement in the 6th Form in the weeks leading up to the Formal. Many appointments were booked – hair, tan, nails, makeup etc. All chat in registration was about colours and styles of dresses, what time the limo was booked for and of course the After Formal!

By 6:30 pm the narrow road leading to the LaMon hotel was packed with limos delivering their glamorous cargo and in the reception hall the atmosphere was full of excitement. Girls and staff posed whilst cameras flashed and everyone was told how beautiful they looked.

The Lisleen suite was decorated with balloons and ribbons in school colours and the boxes of chocolate heart favours on the tables had the badges of both schools on the top.

A delicious meal of Vegetable Soup, Roast Chicken and Pavlova was served by very friendly and efficient staff. After the meal Carla and Megan showed video clips of messages from some staff members, reminiscing about the year 13 and 14 girls when they were in junior school and also wishing them success for the future. The girls then distributed the Oscars in categories such as who’s been tangoed, Google addict and party animal! They also gave out huge bouquets of flowers to staff members.

The Untouchables provided the entertainment performing fabulous music and the dance floor was packed to capacity all night long. This band has now entertained us for the past 4 years' at the annual formal and I am sure that they will continue to this entertainment for many more formals to come. After all that dancing, the buses arrived at midnight to take the girls and boys to the after formal venue.

The evening was enjoyed by all who attended. Many thanks to Carla, Megan and the team for their organisation of this very special event.
