Matric Ball



Heads Or Tails




Me at my friend Adelaide's Matric Ball, Durban South Africa.

Matric Ball is held in your senior/last year at High School - Grade 12 (Standard 10).

In Australia, particularly in rural areas, it is common for those in year 12 to have a Debutaune (sp?) Ball. Traditionally, I think it's supposed to be about presenting the girls to society as women, or something like that. However, these days it's probably just an excuse for something to do. Anyways, the girls are partnered with a boy of their choice and they are "presented" to the guests on the evening, do some dancing (waltzing, mostly), eat and then go home. Is this similar to a Matric Ball?
