A ‘Peak’ into Sneak Dinner

By Marissa Elliott

From ferries, to bus rides, to 5am pickups, the senior class was exhausted after returning on September 1st from their week away at Senior Sneak at Telunas Indonesia; but what better way to relax then dinner and a good show? 

The ‘After Sneak Dinner’ is a long standing tradition among the Junior and Senior classes here at Dalat. While the seniors are rewarded with their trip after a long year of hard work raising money as former juniors, the current juniors put on a dinner to surprise them the night after their return. 

This year's amazing Grade 11’s put on an unforgettable After Sneak Dinner filled with laughter, surprises, and memories with the theme of High School Musical! 

The dinner preparations were no easy task, as Aiden Boyd (11), the star of the show, playing Troy Bolton said, “From the first workday, all the committees were working very diligently not wasting any time, because of this, (the) entertainment (committee) had an entire script. And for decorations, they had already started creating decor and this was on the second workday. So to prepare we made sure not to waste time and even forced our sponsors to stay late for more practice time.” 

And all that work paid off: Caitlyn Chan (12), our senior class president, said her favorite part of the night was “Jane Lee’s solo bit dancing along with the song so professionally.” 

From the moment we walked through the doors each of us could see the hard work put into the night, and it only got better as the event went on and we were able to watch the different talents of each junior class member; whether that be serving, cooking, decorating or acting, each students’ abilities were united to create lasting memories as Caitlyn described. 

The Harbor Hall was creatively decorated with basketballs, stars, and cardboard jerseys that the seniors could all bring home. They created a ‘build your own’ burger bar and had homemade brownies for dessert! The stage was lit up with karaoke, props and costumes that engulfed all the hard work the juniors did to make the night unforgettable. 

It is safe to say that the senior class was spoiled with the dedication and greatly appreciate the huge effort that the Grade 11’s put into a great first night back in Penang. 

On behalf of the Senior class, we could not be more grateful!
