Is anyone else helping to plan the Y11 prom? Some how I think my school's is so much worse than other schools... We have it in the school hall, which is kind of small...and we're deciding the colour schemes and working out music, food and costs and stuff at the moment. Too bad its on the 12th of May BEFORE exams....my friend has hers after...

At my school (10-13), only year 13s have a Prom, and it is at this very expensive hotel and £30 a ticket...so it better be good. Even if yours isn't in the nicest of places, enjoy it, because it'll be a really good night Stupid that it is before exams though.

I think we have one in Y11 and Y13. The year 13 one looks really good, because its at the Hilton in town..

We're going to have it at a really nice golf club hall this time - usually it's in an old warehouse - really skanky.

So we thought we'd make a change, we're having it somewhere better! More expensive, £18 a ticket I think, but worth it!

And yeah I'm helping to plan it...

The year council plans ours, and since I'm not in it... blah. I would've liked to take part though. We have proms at the end of Year 11 (in a hotel near Heathrow!) and one in Year 13 (boat cruise down the Thames). Should be fun, although the men in our year aren't terribly exciting Plus, I have no idea where to get a dress that would fit me...

at my school (years 10-13) we have a prom and/or a yearbook at the end of year 11. Our year will be the first year to have both. I think our prom is at the local university and will be about £10 a ticket. But it is not about spending loads of money though, it is abgout spending a good time with your friends that you have made and may not see again (as they are moving to a different college).

Our tickets are looking to be around about £12 at the mo..my friends looks really good but is £40
A couple of us are petitioning hard and trying to get a jazz band if we can afford it, as some people just want a DJ which would just be like a glammed up school disco with everyone wearing pretty dresses.

Good on you - just dont let the chavs get to you (they are being really horrible to the year eleven organisers at our school - because they dont like the choices that are being made)

That's more a yearbook issue I think... They are there have been lots of tears shed....just because we didn't have the time or the energy to put a huge poll out to all the year group to see what everyone wants, we don't have the tiem to organise that, to collect everyone's votes. So the comittee decided between themselves, which cause uproar.

Still, I'm glad I got nominated for best boy personality

Ours (Y11) is about £40 for a double ticket, and we're the first year group to have one cuz we're planning it ourselves. And we get a yearbook Should be fun, but I can't afford a dress And I prefer jeans...

Oh yeah, we have a live band, jazz I think.

Well, if other people couldn't be bothered to organise it then they can't really complain.

Oooh congratulations

Exactly. If they couldn't be bothered to join the comittee and make a difference, then they can't compliain. Which is what I told them. LOL.

Eeeek, still need to find a place to rent my tux byt the 18th May!

You'll look nice in a tux. 18th May..you have 2 months!!

Why thankyou!

Yeah...

2 months till we leave school. ARGHHH!

I know it is scary...alhough I didn't actually move, but moving schools at year 9 was scary.



I didn't even have a dress for my year 9 prom

Our new principal also banned formals (or proms if you wish to call them that), though the year 13's and 14's secretly planned them anyway Only year 12, 13 and 14 organise them, and I will say this knowing i will stick to my word, I am not going to go to my year's formal definately! They are all people who *hump with clothes on *

You have a year 14?? COOL!

We have some year 14...i.e people who resit year 13

...at least, I think so...

Ah, have some good memories (and pictures) of mine. . .

Oooh, me wants to see some pics!

I think you have Year 14s in N. Ireland, because you start early or something...?

it that all..... *suddenly gets everything put in perspective*
I need to find somewhere to rent a tux for after our exams. We have ours in a big fancy hotel near Salford Quays I think. The tickets are £12 per person, after that the head teacher pays for it!!

lol... I remember my Year 11 prom!!! I took a friend that I'd known at primary school who was reeeeeeally tall. lol. i'm really short so it was funny!

And them my Year 13 one... I also took a really tall guy... but this time I was actually going out with him!!!

It was a lot of fun, I've got lots of pictures of me and my schoolfriends that are all over my wall here at college, which is a nice reminder of people back home!!

Or maybe what England calls Reception Year, they call year 1? I don't know what Wales and Scotland do...

Well, my prom is on June 29th at a hotel in my town, I'm going with a boy in my year (just as friends) and I need to buy a dress! At our school, we have 'school officers' (head boy, head girl, deputy head boy and girl, boy's and girl's games captains and social secretary) who are nominated and voted for by the staff (I was nominated for head girl and social secretary but didn't get either of the jobs) and the social secretary organises the prom - she's doing a really good job. I think the tickets were £15.

we don't have a prom for the year 11 leavers - we just get glammed up, go to school in limos and then get dispatched to the science labs all day so we don't disturb lessons! no, seriously it was a great laugh - a bit too much of being stuck in classrooms, but at least we got to have a laugh with our mates then we had a photographer taking proffessional group portraits of our groups of mates, and a leavers assembly. good day
we get a 'ball' next year (yr 13 leavers)

We had a party at a local hotel the night after our ROA.
We get a ball too next year (yr13) and we're all really looking forward to that! Should be great.

Woo! We had ours last night..it was SO GOOD...I mean, ok, the food was rubbish and the banner was rubbish, and they 'forgot' to make our chocolate fountain, but it was still loads better than we had thought!!

Was a bit like a glorified school disco, but everyone looked SO NICE!!! Ended up dancing for 3 hours (ouch), somehow all my 'unconfidence' kind of vanished and I got all hyper..lol



Took loads of pictures, we're going to 'pool' them all on msn tonight or on monday sometime...woo!

Only problem was with people's dates...there was this one guy who was badly fancied by 2 girls, though he only liked one of them (coincidentally the one who WASNT his date ), but then went 'off' her and started dancing with my best mate, whose date was looking very sad and neglected, though they werent going out...and now I think I like her date...which is fine with her but I dont think he likes me... All got confuzzling



Don't know much about after prom party yet, didnt get invite because the girl hates me We spent half the night worrying about people at it though... Maybe we were paranoid...



Dunno why I'm typing all this...still feel hyper, kind of...having had no sleep

Our prom's on the 28th of June, after the exams (this is the Year 11 one) and it's going to be at a hotel in town, and the tickets were £28! And I still have to buy a dress Me and my friend are going shopping in half term, because we'll both have birthday money to spend then.
But we don't get to organise anything to do with it... I have no idea what the refreshments or decorations or anything are going to be.

Katy I'm so jealous! Ours was at school, though 6th form balls are at the Hilton in town...tix were £14 so that was ok...
Tip: Dont leave it too late...this girl only bought hers last weekend and ended up with a flowery bright orange thing that clashed with her pale skin

Oooh... not nice. My friend apparently saw 'my' prom dress when she was shopping the other week, although how she instantly knew it would suit me while I wasn't actually there I don't know, but she assured me it would have... £135 from Monsoon

Hey, glad to know you had a good time CPPF Ours is, as previously mentioned, on the 28th of June. I've got my prom dress already but I need to get some shoes... and a bag.. this is costing me so much money though, the tickets cost about £30 and plus my friend wants us to go in a limo there (which is another £50 or so!) do you think it'll be worth it? (hiring a limo I mean?) Everyone seems to be doing it.

My prom's next month and I don't have a dress! or shoes - oh dear!

My 6th year prom (6th year is the last year of High School in Scotland) is on the 24th June, I can't wait- it's in a really, really fancy hotel- The Balmoral for any Edinburgers out there- and I've got my dress, shoes and bag. A group of 8 of us are going in a limo together- should be amazing!

hmm...well isnt the whole point to 'stand out'? So if everyone else is going in a limo it won't be that special... I just came with friends and that was still cool...

Some people came in limos but not many.

These girls came in a minibus, and some others hired a double decker tourbus!!!!

A group of my friends are hiring a limo... my closer friends, the ones I'm likely to turn up with, are probably just getting a taxi. The school is putting on a coach for it but I'm not travelling with all the people I know who are taking the coach!! (If you knew my school, that would make more sense...)

I didn't get anything special for my year 9 prom (here you change schools at end of year 9), but I want to make the year 13 prom really special...I mean it'll be the last time we're all together

They hired a masssive coach to take people from the prom to the after party...coz most of the year were going...

we're having our prom here, our school pays for most of it aswell hehe!

Nathan: *jaw drops open*....WOW!
hmm..well have fun
