Last Friday, our sixth formers gathered for a truly magical evening at the annual Winter Ball, held in the PHC. With the theme Christmas Magic, the event featured a delicious three-course meal prepared by our talented Holroyd Howe team, a photo booth provided by "Picture It Photobooths," and an energetic disco by "Happy Sounds." Both companies praised the impeccable behavior and enthusiasm of our students.
The bar, expertly run by Mrs. Munford and Mrs. Renwick, was a highlight of the night—thank you, ladies! Sixth-form tutors joined pupils on the dance floor, and the black-tie dress code added glamour, with many stunning dresses on display.
Headmaster, Mr Middleton, delivered a traditional Scottish Grace, and our Head Boy and Girl, Oli and Meg, gave a toast of thanks to the catering team, estates staff, and the Friends of Our School (FoOS) for their help and hard work.
Our pupils shared their thoughts on the evening:
- “It was perfect!”
- “I got to know the Lower Sixth so much more.”
- “It was a fun, relaxed night.”
- “The food was amazing.”
- “Thank you very much for a fab ball, it was a lot of fun.”
- “I wanted to say a big thank you for last night—it was so well-organized, and I really appreciate all the effort you put into making it such a great evening.”
A huge thank you to Mrs. Lloyd, Mrs. Walton, Mrs. Halliday-Taylor, and Mrs. Wilton for dedicating their time and effort to setting up and ensuring the evening was a resounding success. It was a night to remember!
