School Awards

As soon as we had got rid of the children there followed the "End of year party".
Phew - time to relax...
I needed that wine after being Dolly.


Awards at the end of year party were many but one which topped the event was the award to a boss who authorised the seniors' (year 11-13) party - entitled the Jizzmas party.
And still did not even get the clue when the advertising said "Not coming is not an option" and "Do not come on your own".
Ah well.

Last day of term - the hazing!!

"It is traditional," quoth the head of music, as Yule approacheth, "that new staff should do a little performance at the final assembly. Would you mind organising something?"
"Sure," sayeth I, with glee abandon.

So a quick missive passeth from ye town cryer (email) and all new staff gathereth for to apply their great skills unto the task.

And verily did an idea become flesh and runneth away with said new staff.

The school is named KGV which is akin to 9 to 5 by chorister Dolly Parton - she who hath a HUGE talent.

Thus was the idea born and great mirth followed.



New staff, skirted and ready to sing in front of the whole school. Hurrah - ritual humiliations.

The words:
Tumble outta bed
And stumble to Ho Man Tin
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawnin, stretchin, try to come to life
Jump in the form room
And the blood starts pumpin
Start of the class
The children start jumpin
And folks like me on the job at KGV
Chorus:

Workin at KGV
What a way to make a livin
Barely gettin by
Its all marking
And no chillin’
They just use your mind
And we give out loads of merits
Its enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

KGV, for service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fair promotion
Want to earn like Ed
But ESF wont seem to let me in
I swear sometimes HR is out to get me
Mmmmm...

You’ve got your dreams
We won’t let em shatter
Youre just a step
On the IB ladder
But you got dreams they’ll never take away

On the same boat
With a lot of your friends
Waitin for the day
Mr Jabal’s emails end
And results come in
An its all gonna roll you away

2nd chorus:

Workin at KGV
What a way to make a livin
Barely gettin by
Its all marking
And no chillin’
They just use your mind
And we give out loads of merits
Its enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

KGV, yeah, your EE’s gonna eat you
You can swim all you like
But still Rowell’s gonna beat you
You just never know

what Mr Lafferty is saying
And you spend your life
Going funny if you want it

Each year we have a number of inter-house competitions. This is a link to this years seniors ensemble winners - Crozier. Link to Crozier win Sound quality is terrible but it is worth sticking with it past 2:30.

We have a large Indian population in the school. Some of them call themselves the Brown Boys (think "Goodness Gracious Me"). Brown Boys video

They have a lot of talent - bear with it PANTO 2006
