Having never attended a Business College Ball before, I was a little uncertain as to what to expect.  How would the evening unfold, what would people be wearing, would it be long and tedious or would the evening fly by?

It turned out to be the latter!  The evening started with a flurry of students turning up in the most amazing gowns.  Our female students looked like they had just stepped off the catwalk and the guys looked great in their suits and ties.

It was also lovely to meet the families of our students and to put names to faces.

We then sat down for a lovely three course meal and enjoyed the beautiful decorations put together by our staff and students.

The formal part of the evening commenced shortly after our meal and was, for me, the highlight of the evening.  We heard several speeches from staff and distinguished guests, all of which were inspiring in different ways, and then had the pleasure of seeing our students receive their diplomas and be duly rewarded for all the hard work they had put in during the year. 

It was also an opportunity to acknowledge students who had excelled in different areas during their year at Passmores’ Business College.

As a member of staff I found the evening particularly encouraging as I reflected on how much these young men and women had grown during the year in terms of their personal development and poise.  The 2009 Business College graduates would be an asset to any employee!
