Scarisbrick Hall Newsletter summer 2014

Year 8 Graduation Ball Reported by: Mrs Seddon The end of Year 8 is always an exciting time as the children from Middle School progress into the College.

To mark this event we held an end of Year 8 ball, which was held in the Great Hall. Based on a chosen theme of “Masked Red Carpet” the Hall was decorated beautifully with a red, black and gold colour theme.

Masked mannequins were dressed to enhance the fabulous fireplace, while two masked Oscar type models at the entrance to the hall to greet the guests.

Thanks must go to all the staff involved in making the venue look so delightful.

The staff were excited as they waited for the first guests to arrive and were very impressed by the mature and tasteful way in which the pupils attired themselves for the occasion. Arriving in a mixture of vehicles from modest cars to luxurious limousines, every one of the Year 8 students had clearly made an effort and looked fabulous. From James Bond look a likes, to super cool “Sloanes” glamorous glitz to understated elegance, we felt very proud of them all as I am sure all their parents did.

After a succession of photographs, the pupils sat down to a delicious 3 course meal, provided in house by our caterers. The meal was lovely and well enjoyed by all.

Once coffee had been served, the awards presentation took place. Every student won an award, for a wide variety of reasons, some of which were serious but most humorous. Even Mr Shaw received an award. The dancing commenced and it was lovely to see every pupil up on the dance floor enjoying themselves, along with some of the staff.

It was a lovely end to an excellent year for the students and we wish them well for the next stage of their education within the College.
