If you’ve walked past the boys’ restroom in our school lately and noticed the doors glowing with unusual colors — your eyes weren’t deceiving you. Our DP students, spontaneously and completely unexpectedly, transformed an ordinary space into a mini disco scene that looks like it jumped out of a futuristic version of school life.
Alex, Nick and Lucian brought in and installed glowing LED lights — the small, practical ones usually meant for kitchen cabinets — but this time in vibrant purple, green, and blue shades. They even hung up a real disco ball, which now slowly rotates and scatters reflections across the walls as if inviting you to dance… or at least wash your hands with a bit more enthusiasm.
What started as a small aesthetic upgrade turned into a full visual spectacle: the boys’ restroom now looks better than most classrooms, and maybe even some students’ bedrooms. Although it’s just an everyday space, the students showed how creativity can transform an atmosphere — especially where we least expect it.
As a teacher, I have to admit: I’m impressed.
At a time when students usually rush out of the restroom, we now have a situation where some actually stop by just to check out the “light show.” And maybe, secretly, to make sure the disco ball is still there.
Sometimes it takes just a little bit of light for a school to shine — literally.
And since we already have the atmosphere of a real disco club, it seems only fair that we make a small school-spirited request: could we, at least on the last day before winter break, set up some music and maybe a few snacks? If the restroom has already become the most creative “stage” in the school, it deserves its premiere — with laughter, good vibes, and a little more sparkling magic.
