The year ones had their first SPARC test on the 22^nd of October and after that, the TDC training.

The training was to teach the year ones about general ushering, prize presentation duties, MOUs and the change in uniforms.

They also taught the importance of being professional when a problem arises during the prize presentation and how to overcome them.

The biggest news was that we might have a change in uniform! After passing probation, year ones would finally have their own uniform. How do you feel about black being the new grey? What are your thoughts?

Anyway, here are the pictures from the test and training!
