Some people recoil at the idea of giving up a Saturday to over 150 children to give them a social day. But it's important that, when you're about to start Year 7, i.e. secondary school, someone quells your qualms and just gives you a chance to get to know your future class mates.
So, a bunch of us (school prefects) gave up the best part of our Saturday, despite being already exhausted from Sports Day before, to give the new Year 7s a good welcome and hopefully, help them get to know more about their new school and friends-to-be.
It was honestly much better than what I had planned (lounging around on tumblr) and was definitely worth it. I guess I've even made some new friends. They might not have enjoyed the disco as much as us sixth formers, though.
We managed to answer a lot of their fear-filled questions and some of them seemed to get on like houses on fire. I'm glad we did it and organised it ourselves, and I'm glad that they know they are welcome into our school, and that secondary school is nowhere near as scary as it's made out to be.
Lending an hand to the rest of the team was definitely worth it.
