We’re Having a Ball! The Masquerade Ball Round-Up 我们的舞会！化妆舞会简报

Last Friday our Secondary students hosted the spectacular masquerade ball. We speak to Year 10 students Stella Snider-Hickey and Alicia Seng about what they learned from taking part.

上周五，我们的中学部主办了华丽的化妆舞会。我们与十年级学生Stella Snider-Hickey和Alicia Seng谈论他们从中学到了什么。

What is the purpose of the masquerade ball?

化妆舞会的目的是什么？

First and foremost, it’s a fundraiser. This year we were fundraising for Roots & Shoots, A Voice for Animals, and Lost Puppies of Beijing. We raised money through the ticket sales and selling masks and lottery tickets on the night. 

首先，它是一个筹款活动。今年我们为“根与芽”、“动物之声”和“北京流浪狗”等慈善组织筹款。我们通过销售门票筹集善款，并在当晚销售面具和彩票。

What were your roles in the ball?

你们在舞会上负责什么？

[Stella] We were both on the organising committee. I did a comedy skit with my friend Chenan and I was also Head of Decorations. I was in charge of planning and ordering decorations and decorating the room on the night.

Stella：我们都是组委会的成员。我和我的朋友Chenan表演了喜剧小品，我也是装饰品部负责人。我负责设计、订购装饰品，并装饰整个房间。

[Alicia] I did a dance at the ball. I was also Head of Advertisement – in charge of publicising the event around school. 

Alicia：我在舞会上跳了一支舞。同时我也是广告主管—负责在学校内宣传此次活动。

Did you learn anything from taking part in the event?

你从此次活动学到了什么？

[Stella] My team work and people management skills have improved. One of the biggest challenges of organising the event is taking into account lots of ideas to make something that everyone is happy with. 

Stella：我的团队合作和人员管理技能有所提高。组织活动的最大挑战之一是要面面俱到，让每个人都满意。
