The 2025 BSS Sixth Form Formal was an unforgettable evening filled with elegance, excitement, and joy. Held on 17th January at the beautifully decorated Galgorm Resort and Spa, students arrived in their finest attire, ready to celebrate in style.
The night began with a grand entrance, as couples and friends posed for photos while enjoying the venue with its decoration that set the tone for the evening.
As the night progressed, the dance floor came alive with students showcasing their best moves to a mix of classic hits and contemporary tunes. The DJ kept the energy high, ensuring that everyone was on their feet, dancing and laughing the night away.
What a celebration of friendship, achievement, and the exciting journey ahead… truly a night to remember.
