This was the finale! Our blood, sweat and tears had gone into this project, and now it was time to reveal our new brand toolkit and the story behind it to the staff, including our headteacher.
Spy had helped us to prepare and rehearse our individual roles for the presentation. We are "a team", after all. We went through the whole process: meetings, a trip out, mood boards, ideas sessions - culminating in the final brand itself.
The room went quiet, the lights dimmed and we were off ... then it all went by in a flash! One minute we were starting, the next finishing. Everyone was fantastic and performed brilliantly. All we could hear in the end was clapping.
Some staff members said how much they liked it, some asked interesting questions about the uniform and raised the issue of how fashion dates quickly - but we had everything covered.
It was an amazing experience; everyone seemed to leave with a smile on their face. Now we just have to present to the rest of the school.
