Hey guys! So if you read my blog post a few days earlier regarding an excellence award, then you would have known that I went to the prize giving a few nights ago. It wasn't as boring as I thought but it didn't feel like much really happened and I could tell that the teachers that were sitting on stage were as bored as hell. There was even a male teacher just looking at their nails! hahah

So let me begin by telling you about when I first got to school. As I arrived to the classroom that we're all supposed to meet up at, there was already quite a large group of people there. I wasn't late and wasn't the last one to arrive but there was probably over half of the people there already. I'm glad I instantly saw my friend when I went into the room so I didn't have to look like a little lost puppy. Not long after I arrived, we all lined up and had our uniform checked because we had to be in correct uniform and also we had a roll call to check who's here or not.

The event didn't start until around 7pm because everyone was still being seated and teachers were probably preparing and whatnot.

After probably an hour later, most of the juniors (year 7-10) have received their awards and it's the seniors (year 11-13) time to receive theirs. Which means that I was almost going to be called up on stage to receive my award. I was so nervous and my mind was pretty much just blank at the time. I think one major thing that I thought about was not tripping up and making sure that I smile on stage haha.

After receiving my award, they gave out more awards and also told us who the head girl, boy and deputy girl, boy are.

They had a professional photographer take photos of everyone receiving their awards and made them available for everyone on a website. So here's a photo of me and a bunch of other students that received a certificate as well.

Overall, the night was alright. Not too interesting when they're calling out everybody to receive the awards but I wasn't really bored which is good haha!

Love,
Elaine
