Thursday 15th October 2009 was the evening of a final celebration for the Grade 12 learners of Aberdeen Secondary School. The evening began with a car parade which started just outside Lotusville, and wove its way through the central area of Aberdeen to just outside the school gates. Here crowds of Aberdeen, Lotusville and Thembaliswize residents and pupils of the school waited to cheer, admire and clap enthusiastically as the Grade 12 learners were driven up to the school gates. As the young ladies alighted from the motor parade, the waiting crowd was enchanted by their elegant attire. The beautiful dresses made of brightly coloured taffetas and satin material with matching corsages, lit up the early evening. The smartly attired young men, most with a tie and shirt to match their partner’s evening gown colour, escorted their partner’s through a waiting aisle of well wishers.
