Spook-tacular Success: Year 13 Business Students Host a Halloween Day to Remember

29 October 2024

Our Year 13 BTEC Business class pulled off a “fang-tastic” Halloween day today, filled with spooky fun and creative costumes! The entire school community was encouraged to get into the spirit of Halloween by dressing up, with a £2 donation going to Lookys Aid, a charity close to the students’ hearts due to personal connections within the school. The event wasn’t just about fun of the students’ BTEC Business coursework, where they were tasked with planning and executing a successful event. And what an event it was!

The hallways were filled with incredible costumes, from dinosaurs and sharks to Harry Potter and The Joker, with plenty of other imaginative outfits on display. At lunchtime, pupils enjoyed a range of Halloween-themed food, including green sandwiches, ghost-shaped fish and for dessert – warm banana mummies and eyeball profiteroles!

The most popular activity at lunchtime was the apple bobbing contest. Pupils had just one minute to grab an apple from a water-filled bucket using only their mouths, all for the chance to win a sweet treat, (even Mr Thompson had a go!) There was also a costume competition, where pupils and staff alike competed to see who had the most impressive outfit – the winners included Henry W who was dressed as The Joker, Alfie H who was Marvin, and the team of Minions made up by Tabitha, Seb, Poppy and Anastasia . To add some friendly competition to the mix, there was a Halloween-themed tutor group quiz, which challenged everyone’s knowledge of spooky trivia.

A huge well done to our Year 13 Business students for organising such a fun and successful event. It was clear that a lot of hard work and planning went into making sure the day ran smoothly, and their efforts certainly paid off! The whole school had a blast, and they raised money for a great cause while honing their business skills in the process. We can’t wait to see what they come up with next!
