In January there is a special day for the students from last classes. Prom Night is held every year in our school in January.Students have been preparing for the prom for months. It is not just a unique party but it is also 100 days’ time before taking their leaving exams – Matura exams. The event, which celebrates both the beginning of adulthood and the end of high school, is something every Polish teenager look forward to.
They had to buy elegant dresses, shoes, suits (girls must have special underwear for the event) had tickets printed and arranged for a catering company to supply food for refreshments. For committee members were in charge of the decorations, which reflected the theme of their prom “ Moonlight Night”. Some parents take picture of their grown up sons and daughters before they leave for the prom. All students gather in a school gym at 8 pm. and dance together with invited partners and with friends from the class. When the clock strikes 12 (at midnight) all students stop dancing and start wishing their teachers all the best, lots of happiness, the best students in the future and they thank them for everything. All of that what happen during the night is documented by digital cameras in order they will have a video film with the event. The end of the night is at about 4 or 6 am.
It seems to be long but believe it or not it is very quickly passed time. It is always a wonderful night, one that will give all the students pleasant memories for the rest of their lives.
