It's Always Hard To Say Goodbye

So in my previous post, I mentioned a little something about Boarders Farewell. 

Well, boarders farewell is basically a farewell dinner and party for the year 12s who are moving on from high school. 

A lot of people in the boarding house helped out with the decorations, farewell gifts and yes, everything. I really am appreciative of all the help that I've gotten, especially from the lovely, most amazing Summer in helping plan all sorts while I was away from the boarding house on weekends. 

I won't speak much of it, as there's not much I can actually say, so I'll let the pictures do the talking. Enjoy!

Getting A Little Colourful

So for the last two Wednesdays - yes, including today - we had to set up a 'small business shop' during lunch hour. We started planning for this shop since last term, drawing up the details, drafting posters and marketing schemes and thinking up a storm of ideas for the business. We called our shop, 'combs&cakes'. Can you guess what we sold? Yeah, pretty straightforward. 

I honestly do not remember how we chose to sell combs, nor how we thought cupcakes and combs could relate together on a platform. But it worked anyways. We decided to theme them together. So our main item selling was the cookie monster, and we made cookie monster hair combs to go along with them. However, because of the sales - or lack thereof - we did not make any for the 2nd Wednesday. Deciding on focusing more on the cookie monster cupcakes, which we increased in another dozen of. 

Overall, it was a great success. We, surprisingly, made a profit, which we then proceeded to hand over to our business teacher to donate to Save The Turtles! It was really fun as well, making the cupcakes and getting a little creative, which - speaking of.. 

Spent the whole of last week just being a creative little being (I wish.. I just did the labour work!) and making decorations, presents and what else. Back to back days where I did not do anything but that. It was a success though, especially Boarder's Farewell.. but more on that later. ;)
