School Services
It is a pressure role being in charge of the social
evening of the school year. Namely “THE BALL”. After
a little bit of too and fro getting venues, theme, numbers and menu’s we settled on the 14th of June. Not
to make it too easy on ourselves we also thought we
could add the challenge of a full dinner before the ball
as well. “A Night in Greece” was set- but only after we
had to deal with the disappointment of students hoping
to dance to John Travolta and Olivia Newton John!
Our special high light of the leavers dinner were
presentations and speeches of thanks by students to Mr
Barrett , Coombes and McEntee and a fantastic vale dictorian
speech by James Rickman.
Thanks to all members of the committee who did their bit to
make this a great year.
The School Services Committee worked as a brilliant
team to produce a great evening. It is a true stress
event for Mr Kitchin as teacher in charge and he was
thankful to a great committee, the junior premier netball
team, Mr Fullwood, parent teacher helpers , “ the
techies” , adventure racing dads on the buses and
great staff for all the work they did.
Since the ball School Services has gone on to help with
Spring Fair, organise the leavers hoodies and of course
the leavers dinner following YR13 prize giving.
