I had to google what this matric farewell means. For those that were also wondering:
"A formal ball for scholars in their final year of school. Very similar to the Prom night (USA). It is also thought to be a metaphoric pre-wedding day of a learner, which is why lots of attention and effort is put into it. It is a celebration of the end of your school career."
