Approximately 45, Year 12 students spent Wednesday November 19 primping, preening and polishing to make sure their look was the epitome of style and elegance.
Around 6pm they transformed from students wearing a school uniform to young adults in suits and gowns.
Most hired or used transport chosen especially for the occasion and as chauffeured students arrived at the Corporate Centre, their name and the type of car they were in was announced on a loudspeaker.
Kiera and her formal partner Jude Di Salvia rolled up in a sleek black Nissan Skyline, the same car in the movie Need for Speed: Underground Rivals.
Then Darcy Rea pulled up in a shiny silver BMW.
Bringing class to the class was Landon Brewer and his Formal partner Jaime-Lee South in a brown 1929 V8 Dodge.
As the duo stepped out, the driver pressed the horn and the loud ‘honk honk’ made onlookers laugh.
Mia Hamilton rode the pillion of a Harley Davidson and wore a leather waistcoat over her Formal dress.
William Dekker was in a car called Hulk, it was an all green classic automobile with headlights that glowed green too.
Chris Ritchie and Ali James-Colliery arrived in a black 1969 Ford Mustang and Caitlyn Innes arrived in a red Ford Mustang.
When all students had arrived and the flurry of photographic requests was over, the new graduates celebrated with a sit-down meal in the Corporate Centre’s event room.
