2018 Charity Ball

On Friday 25 May, the 2018 Charity Ball was held at the Main Corner complex. The event was attended by students in Year 11 and 12, who came together for a fantastic night of fun and dancing to support the Timor-Leste immersion trip. The ladies shone in their beautiful gowns and evening wear and the gentleman didn’t disappoint either. Sarah Williams was judged best dressed in a lovely Zimmerman frock while Josh DeDonatis dazzled in a red velvet jacket to win best dressed male. Other awards were presented to Year 12 students on the night to the amusement of the crowd.

This event certainly embraces the College’s ‘hands up, help out’ theme for 2018 and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people and organisations who supported the event...
