Good Vibing in School House
Upon the return of boarders from years 7 to 9, there has been a new addition to the house. The Smooth Squad. Comprised of two anonymous year 12’s who disguise themselves in hoodies and sunglasses. The Smooth Squad further protect their identity through the use of their incredibly accurate Kiwi accents. Their radio show which goes from 6:00am to 6:00pm, 24/7, has a special segment exclusively for the bedtimes of each year group. Beginning the year 7’s at 9:00, followed by year 8 at 9:15 and then they finish their night in the year 9 dorm at 9:30.
At approximately 9:00pm each night, the Smooth Squad make their first appearance. Whilst one holds the speaker, the other selects the tunes. Moving up and down the corridor the Smooth Squad dance the year groups to bed. A quick vibe check followed by consistent promotion of sleep and their radio show. After speaking to one of the Smooth Squad members. We asked why they do it? He replied “We just tryna keep it real and keep the good times flowin”. A positive experience for everyone it seems, making bedtime not seem so boring.
With the common appearances of the Smooth Squad, many boys love getting involved. It’s great to see the boys getting up and “vibing” with the squad or just chilling out, enjoying the radio show from their bed. Although, unfortunately for the Smooth Squad, they are in year 12 and sometimes have some work they need to do instead of “vibing” with the year 7 to 9’s. There has been an official apology after reports saying that some boys refused to go to sleep without the Smooth Squad. Truly a great addition to School House. Many nights of “vibing” to look forward too. In the words of the Smooth Squad legends. Stay fly. It’s been real.
