Prom took place on Saturday, May 20 at the Mandarin Oriental Ballroom on the 2M floor. The event theme was The Phantom Masquerade, guests were expected to wear ball attire with masks to complement their looks.
Prom began at 6:30 p.m. and ended at 9:30 p.m., the event started with guests mingling and enjoying the food and drinks, then the lights of the room changed to colour-changing lights and music began playing. Students and teachers joined the dance floor to dance to a variety of upbeat and slow songs.
One student said, “I thought prom was very memorable, especially considering it was my last prom of high school. I thought there was some great entertainment, including the Photo Booth, lucky draw, and dance floor. My favourite part of prom was dancing and chatting with my friends in our fancy outfits.” Gwynnie G., a senior.
Another student said, “I went to prom because I thought it was a good opportunity for me to have a break from school and hang out with my friends. I also went to create memories with the graduating seniors. I think prom was interesting as it was my first time seeing people in formal clothing with makeup. My favourite part of prom was taking photos with my friends in the photo booth because I was able to get a physical copy of the photos and I will certainly keep these forever.” Euna J., a sophomore.
During the event, the Prom King and Queen were announced, as well as the Best Dressed and Best Promposal. There were also a few student performances near the end of the night.
