A memorable anniversary kick-off ceremony

by 3D  Leung Kwan Pui Ryan


21st December 2012 was Valtorta College's 35th Anniversary Kick-off Ceremony. All students and teachers were glad on that day.

The starting time of the ceremony was 9:20 a.m. Some parents were invited to attend it too. At the beginning of the ceremony, our school supervisor and guests held a ribbon cutting ceremony, which symbolized the start of the celebration. After cutting the ribbon, the screen above the stage showed a count-down slide of 10, 9, 8... and then the program started.  The audience all took a breath in anticipation of the performances to come.

First, the school orchestra performed three songs. They had trained hard before the ceremony. It was great! Then, the second performance was a shadow puppet show, which is a form of traditional Chinese entertainment. A story about Chinese history was told; it was interesting. After that, the dance club performed a jazz dance. Their dancing was beautiful and stylish, and their costumes were very attractive.  Altogether, it was a very festive atmosphere.  I enjoyed the music as it was a Christmas song, combined with a popular Korean song “Gangnam Style” to form a medley.  As for the birthday greetings, many schoolmates, teachers and even the pop star, Kay Tse said “Happy Birthday” to our school.

Then, Campus TV showed a touching and meaningful video which linked all the performances up. Next, the magic club performed an amazing show which for me was the highlight of the ceremony.  All of us were in a 'hyper' mood. We enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere very much. However, of course the ceremony came to an end after all those amazing performances, and all students, teachers and guests clapped loudly. The 35th anniversary ceremony ended in a burst of prolonged applause.

We really did appreciate the excellent show! Thanks to all of the performers for their hard work preparing for it, and the excellent teamwork of all the students involved! I look forward to seeing our successful 40th anniversary ceremony!
