We had our high school Christmas dinner in our school zaal (hall). It was a formal occasion, which meant that the girls came in formal dresses and the boys came in jeans. (Some of the boys did make the effort to wear nice shirts over their jeans and scuffy shoes, but the gender divide remained clear.)
The three younger teachers were part of the event, as you can see from one of the pictures above. The other picture is of me and the wonderful student who, with her sister, mostly organised the event.
