Ask or answer a School Student Farewell question, or contribute your idea


Farewell Question 3
"Can you suggest some cool nicknames for seniors in the graduate college farewell party?
There should be at least 15 different names according to people's personality type..."

Prateek from India

Some inspiration for senior's titles or nicknames, to sum up a person, can come from the following:

  • Movie titles
  • Mr Men or Little Miss characters from the children's books by Roger Hargreaves
  • Song titles
  • Use characters in the novels your year is studying
  • Sesame Street or Muppet Show characters
  • Cartoon characters
  • Comic book characters - e.g. listing what superpowers each person has
  • Describe the whole class as fruit salad, and nominate a different fruit per person and why. This is quite lovely because everyone is different yet contributes to the great taste of fruit salad!
Keep in mind that all titles should be positive and should be references to things everyone knows.

Farewell Question 2
"I am a student of 11th class and need to know what my classmates can give to the graduating 12th class. Can you provide some cheap but cool gift ideas?"
Swapna from India

Given the current global economic climate, you could make a little 'survival' kit - like a little show-bag that has some instant soup, food vouchers, a map to a shelter, a poncho, a fishing line and hook, a budget planner, a credit card cutter and "common sense" (get creative with how you represent the latter).

You can have fun thinking what else is needed to 'survive' the world out there. This is a topical gift, and not every show-bag has to be the same.

Be clever and witty, but above all keep it clean, as you are representing yourselves in the gift-giving.

Farewell Question 1
"Could you please suggest an idea for organising a matric farewell?"
Vanessa from South Africa

Think of the matric farewell as a Commencement Ceremony, where the focus is on how the leaving students will look forward to the future.

The speech should include what they got out of the year at school, how they were inspired, and what they will take with them into the future.

The matric farewell party could have a futuristic theme, such as "Come as what you will be in 20 years".
Or you could conduct a survey on what everyone thinks will happen to everyone else, then organise a few backdrops and props and costumes of what people will be so they can dress up and have photos taken, as a fun activity. For example, a backdrop of a farm and a lassoo and chaps for someone who wants to be a cowboy. Or a Nobel prize and ministerial gowns etc.
These photos can be put together into an album as a souvenir afterwards.

If the send-off is at school, a simple and easy idea is to get some t-shirts and markers and have everybody wear them, signing each other's shirts. This is a fun way to say goodbye with best wishes.
