Candy Crush Sugar Rush Prom for LDSCC Senior Students

Tamavua, Suva-

150 senior students of the LDS Church College attended the Senior prom held at the school gymnasium on Friday 21 November  to mark the end of another school year.

It was chance for all the girls to “doll” up in beautiful gowns and high heeled shoes  and they did look so beautiful while the boys tried to match their date’s gowns with appropriate shirts or colorful ties.

19 year old Head Boy , Laisenia Tuinamoala said that it was such an “awesome and perfect night especially for those of us who are leaving school this year. It really was a night to remember."

Theme of the prom was “Candy Crush , Let’s get a Sugar Rush"  as selected by the students after a survey.

The Prom Committee made up of the Form 5 Junior Prefects organised the entire event and they were excited that they got to plan everything including the decoration , the  entertainment and the fruit punch , pineapples and apple in white caramel. The gym was colorfully decorated to reflect candies and candy canes.
