The Prom, a grand ball for the graduation of the Year 9 students from the International House Oxford Group Institute in Lecce.
“This evening is an important moment for us young people, destined to remain forever written in the book of memories that each of us cherishes in our hearts.”. So Giandomenico, attending the third year of Lower secondary school of the International House Oxford Group Institute of Lecce has opened the grand party organised to mark the end of a busy year. The event was held at the Sala Bernini of the Grand Hotel Tiziano e dei Congressi in Lecce. Prom, the American-style party that takes place at the end of the school year.
And yes, school is out, an event that has always been memorable for students of all ages and levels who have faced so many changes in recent years. So why not organise a grand event to celebrate them?
An event with the notes of unforgettable dances
With the Prom, the young people had the opportunity to immerse themselves in a magical evening that marked an unforgettable transition. A truly out-of-the-ordinary end-of-year party, which saw many dance rehearsals under the guidance of teacher Eleonora Rotundo.
Dress in Ostentatious and elegant outfits The boys first danced to the waltz tune “On the beautiful blue Danube”by Strauss, then a march by Josef Strauss, concluding with a polka also by J. Strauss.
After the grand ball was the farewell of the education director Anna Grazia Buttazzo and of the lecturer Teresa Romano.
”Soon, anxiety and fear will give way to curiosity about the new, about what awaits you. I hope Oxford, your second home, remains a fond memory for you to cherish in the years to come. – stated Anna Grazia Buttazzo – the first stage of that surprising journey that will lead you to knowledge and to being architects of your destiny, with intelligence and sensitivity”.
Following this, after applause and tears, the words of teacher Teresa Romano, on behalf of the entire teaching staff who experienced the emotions every day in class with the students.
“We wish you to live these days of waiting with joy and determination, and perhaps on the day of your exams, glancing into the proud and pleased gaze of your parents, your teachers, and into the eyes of your classmates, allow yourselves to be filled with the happiness felt when realising dreams, big or small, but which will be your dreams and which will start right here. And the result in terms of numbers doesn't matter. It will be your result.”.
An exciting evening, full of emotion, which saw the boys as the protagonists, ready to face their first major official challenge. And they did it in grand style!
The final ceremony then saw the presentation of diplomas and laurel wreaths, which were proudly displayed. A fitting conclusion to a virtuous journey.
