There is not a single teenager that does not look forward to prom. Not a single one. Prom is one of those nights that we never forget our entire lives. Sadly in KISU, we attend 3 proms. In year 11, year 12 and year 13. Even though, prom is still a special night. So who organises prom? In KISU it is the year 12 students that organise prom for the year 13 students and we have to make sure that it is a night to remember. The problem is, they just don't hand us money to set up the prom. It is our choice if we want to have the prom or not. So we have to find that money or we would be the most hated class in high school history. So every year, year 12 students brainstorm fundraising ideas for prom that will cover almost all costs for prom, because prom is not free. The year we organised it, we set up basketball games, called the Dream Team event where students play against the basketball coaches and every year, year 12 students get a lot of money because students never win! These were the achieved leaning outcomes:
- Plan and initiate activities. We had to come up with different ideas to raise money for prom before we landed on the dream team event idea. So this took a lot of planning and initiation in order to make the games happen, because that year coaches did not want to play. So it took a lot of convincing.
- Work collaboratively with others. Since we only had a few months to organise prom on our own, we had to divide the class into different groups. The fundraising group, marketing and decoration. We needed coordination in order to complete the tasks on time
- Consider ethical implications of your actions. Since KISU is an international school, basically any parties thrown have to be considered ethical before they happen. Prom is no exception.
