The Form 5’s efforts did not go unnoticed as the classic Marian Hall was adorned with student made glow in the dark decorations following this year’s theme. Special guests like Dj Gio and Artiste team added to the overall energy with the amazing music. One attendee said, “I thought the HNC disco was actually pretty good, really outdid themselves”. Interactive picture frames at the back of the disco made superb accessories for anyone to take pictures with their friends to share the fun they had! Dancing and cheering added to the overall entertainment that contributed to the enormous success of the disco as it was packed with a huge crowd at the very front of the stage. It’s safe to say that people were pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere of the disco and genuinely had an enjoyable experience.
