35th Anniversary Kick-off Ceremony

Last month, our school held the 35^th Anniversary Kick-off Ceremony. Students of Form three to six attended the ceremony.

First, our school supervisor, the principal, some teachers and some members from the SA, held a ribbon cutting ceremony. Each of them held a part of the ribbon with colourful ballons. Then, the students showed a video in which all students had taken part in. It was the count-down video. They invited some teachers and students to say ‘Happy Birthday To VC!’ They even found a popular singer for the video. She was a student in our school in the past.

After that, the performances of the Kick-off Ceremony started. All of them were in a story about truth and friendship told by an old man to her daughter. We had a shadow puppet show. The show was about a war in ancient China. The students used traditional Chinese musical instruments to play the music. The show looked very professional too.The story was quite funny and interesting.

Then, the dance club performed a jazz dance. At first, they danced with some blub lights smoothly. The atmosphere was peaceful and silent. Then, the music changed to a Christmas song. The dancing started to get faster and more joyfully. Finally, they performed to the pop song from a Korean pop star, PSY. They got lots of claps because of that song!

Next, the campus TV played a stop motion animation acted by the Form five and six students. It was about two boys who changed themselves into a car for a fight. The video were made from many photos. Then, using the computer, the photos were joined together in the timeline to form a video. It took a lot of time to take photos and produce the video although it just lasted a few minutes. It was the highlight in the ceremony too. They got many howls and claps. The participants looked delighted and interested.

Finally, the school choir performed some songs and the parents and guests started to leave the hall.

This Kick-off Ceremony was a great success. It didn’t just to celebrate our school’s birthday, it also gave a chance for students to show off their talents.
