Official Statement To The CAL Union On Seniors Ball 2024
Good day! We would like to draw your attention to the CAL Union Seniors Ball event, which is
currently scheduled to happen on 20 June 2024 (Thursday), 630-11pm at The Luna Hall. You may be
wondering on the reasons behind the combining of 2 cohorts for one Seniors Ball event. Well, do
allow us to briefly share on this.
For the last 2 years (2022 and 2023), it was very challenging for the organizing committee to gather
the necessary number of sign-ups for the Seniors Ball that were held in November. In fact, the
November 2023 edition had to be cancelled due to the extremely low response rate from target
participants.
So, then your next question could be, why not have the November ball earlier? The reason is
because the organizing committee are also preparing for examinations. The preparation period is
rather short and yet many aspects require quick response from students, staff and external parties.
Hence for 2024, after lengthy consideration, the College made the decision to combine the two balls
and hold it on a date that is most suitable for both cohorts to attend and thereby enjoy the
celebrations without the worry of the possibility of having another ball cancelled in November. We
decided that the CAL Union organize 1 Ball for the 2 graduating cohorts of the year, with the hope
that sign-up rates can be better.
Unfortunately, up to today, the sign up rate for the combined ball is still low. 11 students out of the
total 400+ students have signed up for the ball.
We urge you to show your greatest support to them as they tirelessly working on this in the midst of
preparing for major examinations. Should you require more clarification, you can reach out to the
following:
