Here Comes the Sun: Senior Sunrise

By Himani Alagan

Since the beginning of Grade 12, it was the senior sunrise that kept the seniors on their toes with excitement.

All were asked to gather at the Galley at 7:00 a.m. sharp to watch the sunrise and eat breakfast together. We had a delicious spread of rotis, curry puffs, Krispy Kream doughnuts, spring rolls, and cinnamon cake, with hot chocolate, milo, coffee, and chai to supplement. 

Our class food coordinator, Packia Alagu Nagarajan (12), said, “It was really hard to find shops that sell roti at that time, but I managed to talk to SAB, and they came through.” 

Overall, the feedback regarding the breakfast was positive; Leyla Lee (12) said, “The roti and doughnuts were so good.”

Alexia Nyul (12), our activity coordinator, stated, “I’m so glad I was able to pull off planning the senior sunrise, as getting to spend time with my classmates is always fun, and I’m so glad I was able to enjoy it.”

Excitement stirred even more when a dead rat was spotted on the ground in front of the Galley during the first few minutes of the sunrise. After being pointed out by one of the seniors, it was flung away heroically by Mr. Van.

Nevertheless, despite the minor disturbance, the senior sunrise was a time to unite as a class and bond. From watching bits of the sunrise to eating breakfast and playing spike ball in the field, the time was well spent getting to know each other better.

Although there wasn’t much of a sunrise, the sky was still quite beautiful, according to many in the grade. We are so incredibly blessed to have such a beautiful campus overlooking the beach. It really makes us count our blessings and give thanks to God for every new day and the beauty of friendship.
