Teachers' Day Celebration

Though today was Teachers' Day Celebration, we still had to report at the normal time. So, as usual, I reach school at 625 am. Was very exhausted from last night's BBQ and now, today, there was the Teachers' Day Lunch which I had to oversee- making sure that everything will be smooth and enjoyable for the teachers. No complains but just tiring.

In the morning, the school had their ACES day workout where the students did some kind of mass exercise kickboxing this time round.

Was glad to see my form class student, Deon on stage with the PE teacher, leading the school in the workout as well.




After sitting at the side for a short while, I went over to the venue where I was going to hold the lunch as my committee was busy decorating the place. This time round, we have it in school to cater for ex-students coming back. So, my committee actually initiated decorating the place which was a very good suggestion.

When I entered the room, I never knew they could turn a classroom to a nice, relaxed area, where the theme was black and white.



It was also nice to see the children helping out in the decorations





This year, I initiated to have a day where colleagues could bring their kids to school and I decided to have it on the Teachers' Day Celebration where it would be fun for the kids to join us.

After helping out a little in the decor, I went to the hall for the celebration. The performances were quite good.



This year, the class prepared a presentation for the form teacher where we viewed after the hall celebration.

Here's the video presentation that my class prepared for me. It was really nice and impressive. Thanks guys!



After the presentation, the class went forward as individuals or in groups to express their appreciation to me and my co-form teacher by saying a few words or singing. Some were quite funny, and some were touching. In whatever case, all was heartfelt and I appreciated it.



Here are some of the little children who turned up



And finally, we had our teachers' day lunch at about 1130am. I was so glad the food was good and the caterer made special arrangements to follow our colour theme, even though I just told them this morning.

I used Kriston catering because I have tried it before during my friend's wedding and it was good and elegant. One thing I noticed about this caterer is that if you would want to use them, its best to order the food that costs about $20 per head...and I also order from them because of their chocolate fondue machine.

The food that I ordered was..
1) Chef's cold platter (which consisting of ham, crab stick etc)
2) Over baked teriyaki chicken with sesame seed
3) Pan fried dory fillet with almond and grapes
4) deep fried butterfly prawn with mango salsa
5) mussel on shell with herb pesto
6) medley of vegetables with sausage
7) fried rice with garlic and egg
8) buttered spaghetti with spicy tomato sauce
9) tropical fresh fruit platter
10) cream puffs and choc eclair
11) DIY dark choc fondue station
12) fruit punch









I have to admit, I simply love feeding people with good food. Its nice to see everyone enjoying the company and the food. Especially more so this year where the families and kids could join in.



Here's Caleb donning in PAP outfit (since he has no black pants). But he was actually wearing a black and white converse shoes. So yup, done on purpose to make him dress to the occasion!


As usual, Caleb was hyperactive- running around and playing with my colleagues...and even the caterer staff as 3 of them were around to serve us.



After all was over, I was exhausted. Went back after everything was settled to have a good rest!
