My eldest son attends school in Pretoria. At South African schools grade 12 is usually referred to as "Matric". This refers to the examination that is written at the end of the year. It is common to say "I am in matric." That would be understood to say you are completing your schooling in that year.
One of the highlights of the year is the Matric Dance - I imagine it is similar to a Prom but never having attended one I am not certain about this.
My son's Matric Dance is in May and so he decided he would like to hire a suit for the occasion. We went with him to select one. Here are his little helpers giving him unsolicited advice!
