On Thursday 28th June, Etone College marked the end of our Class of 2024 celebrations with the Etone 2024 Prom.
Taking place at the Heart of England Conference Centre, the event is always a joyouse one as it celebrate the hard work and efforts of our pupils both during the busy exam period, but also for their five years of being dedicated Etone Learners.
As the clock struck 6:30pm a large turnout of staff were present to witness some of the elegant, exciting and in some cases bonkers entrances from the pupils. This year the pupil’s excelled themselves with; tractors, racers, executive cars and of course some old-time classics. The only thing that could outdo the entrances was the glamour and elegance of the outfits across the board. The effort the pupil’s have clearly put into their dress for the evening never ceases to amaze. For the gents, this year particular trends have been; Celtic style waistcoats, Matching tie pins, sunglasses and oddly the “security” pose.
Of course the dresses and outfits from the ladies were equally stunning and it was lovely to see the individual style of our pupil’s really brought out. After arriving to the holding area, there was a chance for pupils to mingle with teachers, staff and each other catching up across the past few weeks and looking forward to the night ahead.
Once the clock struck 7:00pm it was time for the procession to the Prom Hall for the big reveal of the Prom 2024. Pupil’s were equally amazed and impressed with the vibe of the party, a mix between Prom Classic and Hollywood Elite. Pupil’s were able to fill themselves from the stunning BBQ banquet and enjoy bubble gum ice cream, donuts and brownies for deserts. Before the speeches and surprises. Mrs Price as always had the opportunity to declare Class of 2024 “The Best Ever”. Something that really resonates with just how collaborative and compassionate this year group are with each other. Whilst we won’t ruin the surprises for our incoming Year 11’s (current Year 10’s), the event was a spectacular success and we will miss our pupil’s dearly.
See you on results day Class of 2024!
