The difficulties we have with our own school is having a staff member there to be a babysitter- our teachers are not very involved with the program yet. All nighters at our workplace are a bit easier to go though- just make sure it stays fairly safe. The workload gets stressful during the evening, but then after 1am everyone just calms down and its like instant fun. However, I would not recommend doing a allnighter (how you say in your region- "a lahck- een?") for the first day of FIRST- might get a bit stressful with the designs and thought process, and I'm sure some parents might even attempt to 'prevent' their kids from staying- to crazy an impression too soon. But whatever you end up doing, its bound to be awesome. And don't forget to feed the people! We'd always be walking around at midnight wondering where the snacks were.

Just as coincidence- the synonyms 'lock-in' and 'all-nighter' just remind me of the nationwide conflict between 'pop' and 'soda'. I happen to do all-nighters and drink pop.
