Graduation Breakfast and Assembly - CANCELLED!

In the last period of class, the principal came personally to each classroom to present to us all, a letter of apology (/reason to blame the year 12's) for the cancellation of the traditional graduation breakfast and assembly. We were expected to turn up at 7:30 to eat breaky with our fellow friends and family, in the Trinity spiritual nature. But because the executives of Trintiy College feel our recent sporting achievements has essentuated our youthful arrogance and sense of invincibility, rational decisions were made swiftly.

It all started yesterday, with the commencement of the Prefects vs. Teachers soccer match. A tradition that is held year-after-year, what alternative could strengthen the relationship amongst the student body and teachers than to put them into seperate teams to fight head to head.

Prefects drew first blood as we took one away from the teachers. Overcome by emotion and a great sense of achievement in the air, celebration rose up from the crowd and a rumble erupted. Students ran onto the field, jumping joyously at the goal, only until the teachers left the pitch 10mins early due to the lack of discipline of the crowd....

When the students returned from the game, they went to their lockers reluctantly. Not only were the students upset by the lack of playing time on the field, but were met with a powerful stench from the end of a corridor. Turns out, God forbid, someone had decided to chuck a dump on a Year 12 Religon Test Paper. Not only did they decide to make our prestigous school smell like a toilet, they decided to make their mark on a religon test paper. Since religon is the core foundation of the school, the top dogs were not too happy...

Turning up to school today, i find eggs splattered all over our lockers. Of course, it is "Muck up" Day afterall. Some of the yoke got on my discrete book. You can tell i was shattered -_-...Called into a meeting, the Year 12 cohort was interrogated, and were told explicitly: "If no one is going to confess to these actions, there will be NO reason for you to turn up tomorrow. UNDERSTOOD! No breakfast, no graduation ceremony, and none of you can get their T-shirts signed, is that clear?"

So here i am, typing up the events of that took place, knowing there is absolutely no reason for me to be in school tomorrow. *sigh* If those responsible were to 'fess up, we would have listened to Head Boy, Barbas, give an honourable speech, and i could've enjoyed a FREE breakfast. Now all i have to look forward to is the term break holidays, which comprises of my wonderful MOCKS exams and playing Ping Pong with PK and Pette....

I agree there. It's a real shame that so many of us have to take the blow of an incident conducted by an exceedingly small amount, but enormously selfish and stupid persons. It's not only the students affected- it's the parents and cohort family members, a chance to congregate on the final assembly to farewell a year twelve group that some no doubt have been wanting to do since year four if they were there at the junior school. I just guess we're lucky we're even graduating, and take whatever else as it comes.
