SSIS Prom 2017

The SSIS Prom was a family affair for us this year! The Asian Prom traditions are different than our experience in Canada, Kenya, or Qatar. This was an evening of great fun!

The event was held at The Reverie Hotel in downtown Ho Chi Minh City. It was the perfect venue for dinner, dancing, games, photos, and more.

We started by meeting up with friends for some photos. The parents became the paparazzi as students arrived in their gowns and suits. Everyone looked beautiful and most of the dresses were tailored in the weeks leading up to this evening.

After the Grade 12 students paraded into the ball room, they provided musical entertainment during the dinner. The meal was Chinese and served in traditional family-style: one waiter assigned to each table to divide the platter and share among the table members -- for all eight courses. Salad with duck and caviar tossed in vinegar, Seafood soup with Japanese seaweed, Seafood spring rolls, Sauteed spare ribs with Wuxi sauce, Steamed fish Hong Kong style, Roasted duck, Sauteed vegetables and wolfberry, fried rice with shrimp and BBQ pork, and chilled blueberry pudding. It was delicious!!



Dinner was followed by dancing and a photo booth. A great evening with great friends!
