What does your school do to make Year 12 an awesome year?

[malonep]

Hey guys, just looking for some general discussion and things we could implement at our school specifically for the Yr. 12's.

Things like Yr. 12 Trivia nights?

Yearbook?

Other things that you enjoy as year 12's at your school?

Lol my school had/has a 'conference' ie stay in a hotel in Lorne and go surfing and spend your entire time dressing up in costumes, charity concert (ie raise 50 000 dollars for charity) and then an entire week of dressing up rather than just one day + muck up carnival or whatever it is at the end.  I can't recall anything else they did on purpose to make us enjoy Year 12.
PS: all of these things require that your school and the people surrounding it have a lot of money.

We have a lot of guest-speakers come to our school and lecture us about the importance of nutrients and sleep.

Every Friday or Wednesday we have a barbecue.

We get morning tea supplied to us occasionally by the school committee (I help out!  )

Feeling so ripped off right now, we get nothing.
We don't even get a microwave in the common because some bright spark (pun intended) put a fork in it :/

Well, the crepe man is coming today

We get a formal, valedictory dinner, jumpers that are given to us in Term 4, an opportunity to give the teachers a roasting on the last day of school and a special tie. Pretty average, I know. Although, they also offer us a six week trip to India after the final exams to help build homes and schools for the poor, so that's quite special if you choose to go to that.

Theme days, a camp and that's it ):

My school made Year 12 a really enjoyable year. Lots of events planned throughout the school calendar as always, but there were some events that were directed primarily at senior school students, i.e

Senior Social in May
Year 12 Formal at the Grand Hyatt in September
Year 12 MHS vs Mac.Rob cup (throughout the year)
Year 12 Interform Futsal competition (first-second terms I think)
Valedictory Night (although many of us missed it because we were on Schoolies)

Those are just a few from the top of my head, but final-week activities were the best for me. We went bowling with teachers, lit our hands on fire (literally - using methane bubbles), and all sort of whacked crap like drinking dyed milk and vomiting it all over the front of the school (which is really just a Year 12 tradition)

There's also the Year 12 jumper which we got in Term 4.

Unfortunately we didn't get a common room though, oh well

We get jackets with nicknames on the back that are currently being screen printed (Although we had to convince the new principal to keep these going this year)
We have a common room with a microwave (y)
We get to leave on Wednesdays at lunchtime because people have VET
We get a formal next Friday
We get to think of something to do at the end of year full school assembly (currently looking at a flash mob sorta thing)
