After 13 years of education, yesterday I completed my last high school classes, ending on a double maths, and last night attended my last school dance, and today was our muck up day. Most of my year stayed at school overnight, but I had a friend staying at my house who wasn't in year 12 so I decided to go home.
When I got to school, one of the blocks, our practical subject block, food tech, wood tech, music, one of the science labs and the art rooms, I blocks furniture was on the oval next to it. Which, even though the furniture was right below the windows, then had to be carried up a flight of stairs to be returned to the rooms. The chairs were in 3 stacks and then tied together with safety tape and the tables were stacked as well. One of the classrooms from our H block had been moved outside it's window and placed exactly the same, and the teacher actually taught her class at the outside setup for first period.
The deputy principals office was sticky noted on the outside, floor to ceiling, as was the gardeners shed door. There was vaseline on door handles, heaters and various poles. All of year 12's cars were parked in the quadrangle, which is also a basketball/netball court, and wrapped in gladwrap, and one was driven up a few stairs onto this platform kind of thing. There was a year 9 kid gladwrapped to a flag pole, one of the rooms in H block had been TP'd, the next one had christmas wrapping hanging in front of the door and a bunch of clothes hung from the roof, the next one had all the furniture turned upside down, and the last one on the line had everything stacked up.
One of the I block classrooms had all the posters taken down or written on with whiteboard marker. There was flour on the fans, and all over the outside ground. There was gladwrap between all the poles to get up the stairs to H and I block without walking the entire way around the library. In between H and I block there was a line of chairs stacked on top of each other.
On top of this, our entire year dressed in crazy costumes; I was a carebear, there was a wizard, a fairy, an old man, an angel, batman, the red power ranger, the queen of hearts, a tiger, 5 of the guys were in morphsuits (which are deeply disturbing and super tight full body suits, including the head), and a few things I can't actually name.
We ran a bbq lunch and a chocolate wheel raffle, and raised a lot of money in an attempt to make our formal entirely free. We did a freeze-mob in the local shopping centre in our costumes. Other than that, we basically chilled out and cleaned up a large amount of the mess we made.
Tomorrow morning, we have our final formal assembly to say that we made it and actually did complete year 12, which I really don't wish to attend, but I will. Then over the next two months we have our final exams and then our formal.
I'm so glad it's over.
