Cranford Review 2015

Year 11
Record of
Achievement
and Prom
2015
On
Tuesday 16th June 2015, year
11 students together with their
parents, friends and family gathered
together to celebrate the achievements and
talents of the year group. The event began
with a dance group performing a dance
fusion piece which perfectly captured the energy and
enthusiasm of the year group and it was
clear that the dancers had spent a lot of time
preparing the performance.
Ms Gerber and Mr Stumpf made an excellent
opening speech which inspired the students
and was a perfect introduction to the
presentation of the Record of Achievement
folders. The tutors worked hard to ensure
the presentations were seamless and all
members of the year group looked smart and
mature when collecting their folder.
The Year 11 Band performed “Flashlight” by Jessie J
which mirrored the feelings of many within the room.
Ms Sullivan and Ms Kaher gave emotional speeches,
reminiscing on how year 11 students had grown up
since year 7 and considering what the
future may hold for all of the young
people who have been in their care. The
final part of the formal presentations
was the RoA video, created by
Shafla Sharaz and Rimsha Amjad. It
contained messages from former as
well as current teachers, photos from
year 7 to year 11, videos from drama
performances and time spent together; a fantastic
finale with many lasting memories.
“If there ever is
a tomorrow when we’re
not together…there is
something you must
always remember. You are
braver than you believe,
stronger then you seem,
and smarter than you think. But the most
important thing is, even if
we’re apart…
I’ll always be with you”.
“Do the things you love, not
the things others love”.
“Don’t think you know
everything, take other people’s
advice into consideration”.
“Never be afraid to ask for help”.
Everyone then set off for the Prom which was
held at the Riverside venue. The students looked
fantastic, with some very smart suits and beautiful
dresses. Their behaviour and attitude reflected their
appearances and it was wonderful to see
the entire year group dancing together
all night. Tutors made presentations to
students who had worked hard throughout
the years, and the prom king and queen
were announced. It was a fitting end
to a fantastic year group’s
hardest year yet and
they did it as they
had the last 5 years;
together.
Well done Class of
2015- the best is yet
to come.
