Last day of term - hooray!! And lots of pics of happy P7s moving on to senior school. Our school had a Christmas P7 dance )in the school hall, party gear) and the school took the kids bowling last week as an end of school treat. In this area that's the norm.
A FB friend who lives elsewhere in Scotland was posting pics of her daughter at the "P7 prom" in a local hotel/function room, suits/kilts for the boys, very posh dresses for the girls, hair, make-up, nails, jewellery the lot. FB friend lives in a fairly deprived ex-mining village where there is high unemplyment and not much cash sloshing around. The parents must have spent a packet on this P7 prom.
When did this become a "thing"? The secondary school here has a "prom" for S6 leavers, although I still think they call it a Leavers' Dance. Last year it was held in a hotel in town and yes they all dressed beautifully and did the whole hair and make-up thing, but there were no limos or other extravagances. my friend's daughter got a lift from her dad, and the girls all got together to do each other's hair and make-up. And these are 18 year olds, not 12 year olds.
So are proms the thing where you are? I'm very glad they're not here.
