HOLSWORTHY Community College’s Year 11 leavers’ day was held on Friday, June 23, after the exam season had finished.

It was a non-school day but the Year 11s had the choice to attend a ‘final fun day’ at school.

A spokesperson for the school said: “It was amazing to see that, bar a few pupils who were on holiday or in some case working already, the majority of Year 11s chose to return for the day.”

The day started with an assembly organised by Brooke Rowe and Shannon Ley. It included the awards for ‘Selfie King and Queen’, ‘bookworms’ and ‘couple most likely to get married’ to name a few!

This was followed by the ‘rubbish fashion show’, where pupils were asked to design and make a prom dress and suit out of toilet rolls and rubbish bags.

This was followed by the ‘silly Olympics’, where teams competed against each other in the blindfolded sprint, Wellington boot throwing, water carry, dizzy relay and the army cam net crawl.

After a barbecue the pupils and several staff made their way down to the playing field for the now annual Year 11 water fight.

After a much needed rest and showers, the day ended with the final assembly organised by the staff. This included some hilarious videos and photos of the pupils taken over the years, along with the now viral staff version of ‘Happy’ — to view the video visit the college’s Facebook page.

The spokesperson added: “Hopefully the pupils will have a lasting memory of their final day at school and we wish them every success for their future.”
