YEAR 13 students at Oakwood Park Grammar School, Maidstone, celebrated the end of their school days with a leavers' ball at the Marriott Tudor Park Hotel on June 2.

The event was a tremendous success, with both the ladies and gents dressed to impress.

After the buffet meal, there was much fun to be had on the dance-floor, with the excellent music and special effects provided by Simon P Promotions.

Later in the evening was the presentation of a few light-hearted awards, including Oakwood's Most Hardcore clubber, which went to Steven Hunt and the Jackie Chan Award, which went to Stephen Glen. Thanks go to Andrew Lowrey and Gregory Salmon for presenting these awards.

As this was our last organised sixth form event, the evening ended with some emotional goodbyes.

Overall, everyone seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed themselves, the only complaints coming from those who did not want the evening to come to an end.
