About: Debs (ball)

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A school's Debs, also called Grad or Grads, is the formal ball for students in their final year of secondary school in the Republic of Ireland, analogous to the prom in North American schools or the school formal in Australia. It is most commonly referred to as the "Debs" (from "debutante") but some schools (mainly boys' or coeducational) call it the "Grad" or "Grads" (from graduation). Each ball is associated with a specific school, which may take place during the school year, immediately after the Leaving Certificate examinations in June, or after the results are announced in August. Some schools have a smaller "pre-Debs" some months before the Debs. Other schools, including in Tralee, hold their Debs in January.

dbo:abstract
  • Der Begriff Debs, auch genannt Grad oder Grads, bezeichnet den formellen Schulabschluss-Ball von Schülern im Abschlussjahr an weiterführenden Schulen der Republik Irland. Das Ritual ist zu vergleichen mit dem Prom in den USA oder dem Abi-Ball in Deutschland. Der Ausdruck Debs ist eine Kurzform des Wortes Debutante, welches eine junge Frau aristokratischer Abstammung bezeichnet, die das Erwachsenenalter erreicht hat und ihr formelles „Debüt“ als eine Art Einführung in die Gesellschaft feiert. Jeder Debs-Abschlussball wird intern an Schulen abgehalten und findet entweder während des Schuljahres (ähnlich der norwegischen Russfeier), direkt nach den Prüfungen für das Leaving Certificate im Juni oder nach der Verkündung der Resultate von ebenjenem im August statt. Manche Schulen veranstalten ihre Debs sogar schon im ersten Abschnitt des letzten Schuljahres. (de)
