Year 11’s Proms Night

This was held in the Seitz Camdenian Hall

6pm -10pm

Thursday 4th July 2024.

President Alan Streeter and Team Beacon High welcome Year 11 students at Beacon High School. 

The hall was bedecked by Natalie Mountjoy.

Believed to be the first time in the school’s 117 years history that the Camdenians’ Hall has been transformed into a stunning venue for our Year 11 students to celebrate their ‘Proms’. As new students their first assembly in Year 7 was in the Camdenians’ Hall; their last assembly in Year 11 was in the Camdenians’ Hall. It seems appropriate that they should come back to the Camdenians’ Hall and have fun.

The Prom holds different levels of significance for different people. For some, it’s a chance to dress up and have a fun night with friends. For others, it’s an opportunity to create lasting memories before parting ways with classmates and entering adulthood. Hopefully, you will agree with me that these photos and videos show our Year 11 (2024) having fun with friends and dressing up.

This record will help them to remember when they voted for the ‘Prom’s King & Queen’ and I had the honour to name them. Joe Fox and Natalie Mountjoy presented ‘Oscar type‘ trophies to individuals in various categories.

The evening’s music and games were provided by ‘On Shenanigans’, which included:- group signing and dancing; tight-rope jumping; limbo challenge; passing the hula-hoop; removing and replacing brick-sized wooden blocks on a table – Jenga (wooden tower game); musical chairs to name a few. There was a Photo Booth that everyone visited to dress up and have their free photographs taken. This proved to be an extremely popular activity. An excellent buffet with non-alcoholic punch was provided by the Old Camdenians Club.

Year 11 (2024) have endured the disruption to their studies with the Covid-19 pandemic and now await the results of their GCSEs on 22nd August. We wish them all the best for the future and hopefully see  some of them at our OCC’s 97th Annual Lunch, on Friday 1st November 2024, at the school.

Enjoy my visual record of this wonderful evening!  If you want your image removed or have some photos that you want added to this collage please send them to me. But I think Joe Fox’s limbo challenge MUST be kept?

Checkout below who was Champion!

I did not see who brought the tower down……they are re-building it though.

The evening’s Champion was King Micha- well done!

Although Bill Wood was asked to have a go; Joe tried……

I hope that you enjoyed my visual record of this wonderful evening!  If you want your image removed or have some photos that you want added to this collage please send them to me. But I think Joe Fox’s limbo challenge MUST be kept? 

Also, do you have a ‘Beacon High Prom’ Photobooth image to share? Here is mine:- an Egyptian headdress, a wig and a red Stetson 

If so, send them in and I’ll add them.
