The year 11 Prom took place at the stunning Newclose Cricket ground on Friday 19 July, as a reward for all their hard work and the completion of their formal examinations. The event marked the end of their five years at Medina College and was the perfect celebration of their time here.
The weather was on our side and the students certainly made their entrances in style with a buggy, vintage car, classic beetle, pink limousine and some very plush sports cars dropping students off! They entered the venue across a star studded red carpet walk of fame through two giant Oscars made by our very talented art and design tech departments, into a glitzy room to match the Hollywood Oscars theme.
Students enjoyed a delicious buffet followed by an array of desserts, so they were well fed and ready for the night ahead. The students were awarded some extra special awards on the night and even surprised some teachers with some of their own awards, presented by students Roxy and Eesa. It was then time to crown the students’ choice for Prom King and Prom Queen – John and Ruby.
Following the awards, students enjoyed the disco and karaoke, filling the dancefloor and having photos taken by the magic mirror. All our students looked stunning and the standard of behaviour from all was exemplary. The smiles from the night and the wonderful memories will last for many years to come.
Head of Year, Mrs Mills said “I am personally very proud of what an amazing cohort they have been throughout their entire time at Medina College. It was a fitting end for their time with us and I wish them every success in their onward journeys.”
Huge thanks to all of the staff who attended the event and for all those involved at every stage of planning and preparation. We would also like to thank all students and staff who helped fundraise throughout the last year. We were also fortunate to have had a generous donation from DJ Drilling to help make it all possible. Thanks also to DJ Dave Wiltshire for the entertainment, Blooming Balloons for the decorations and Valentinos for the delicious spread; the evening would not have been possible without all of the support received.
