It looked like the Oscars. Yes, entry to the Jacaranda Banquet was slow, but no one seemed to mind. Students walked the black carpet—a tie in with the yearbook’s CMYK colour model theme—then posed, celebrity-style complete with paparazzi-like flash photography, in front of a large roped off sponsor’s wall. The message: we are celebrating you. And celebrate they did. “It was buzzing,” says Candice Hardy (pictured, left), who led a team of students from Bruna Tawake’s Event Management class in organising the banquet. “We couldn’t even get the students to sit to have their meals.” Credit: Lagani Gairo.
