Refi's Got Talent

It was one of the eagerly anticipated school events of the year. Students and teachers alike were looking forward to the event that was 'Refi's Got Talent.' It started in 2012 by my good friend Aiysha Jebali. The talent show is normally held to raise money for a school event. 

This year there were a variety of different acts including mimes, pianists, flautists, poets, footballers and jugglers. The evening was very entertaining and there were many hilarious moments. We also had a panel of three judges, two English teachers (who equalled to Britain's Got Talent's Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan) and the school pastor, who tried his best to rival Simon Cowell and give criticism (hilariously) to every performance. The event ran on for over 2 and a half hours and in all raised over 27,000 HUF (which equates to roughly around £70-80). The event was one of the biggest ones yet.

There were four prize winners, first, second and third place and a prize for the best performing teacher. The audience thoroughly enjoyed the show and it was an honour to help organise it!
