Abi-Banner 2021
Why dragons?
Why dragons? Originally because of the movie "How to train your dragon" and the association that our 12th graders are now "fully trained". Also, in China for example, dragons are a symbol of good fortune so they were ideal as a good luck charm for the Abi exams.
Ultimately, the „Abi-Surprise“ parent team wanted to make their kids happy with "their" stuffed animal, there has never been a dragon for the "Abi-Surprise" and it also fit so well with the theme of the banner where the dragons are ready to fly away from school into the next chapter of their lives.
