Revelry & Glamour A Night of

The 2023 Student Executive Ball was held in the final week of Term 1.

In the weeks leading up to it, there was a palpable sense of anticipation in the Year 11 and 12 Common Rooms. Everyone was looking forward to the event, and the outfits did not disappoint! All the students (and teachers) looked incredible, and enjoyed a wonderful night.

The Ball committee, and Mrs Smith, worked tirelessly to transform the function room at the Bunbury Lighthouse Hotel to suit the theme ‘Vintage’, with elegant black and gold seat covers, gold framed menus and soft yellow lighting. A few of the students dressed in theme too, with Ryan Horley winning ‘best suited’ with his Peaky Blinders inspired attire. Best dressed was won by Meeka Giancono. Archer Southwell presented both winners with beautiful blue sashes.

After a delicious dinner, that included either lasagne or chicken parmigiana, high heels were kicked off and jackets abandoned as the dance floor flooded with students. Everyone enjoyed dancing and singing along to various song requests, particularly Tom King who won ‘best dancer’ at the end of the night.

Dessert was brought out halfway through the night, and the dance floor cleared as a long line formed near the buffet. Other than dancing and dessert eating, students spent time taking pictures in the photobooth, or on the balcony for a breath of fresh air. More prizes were awarded at the end of the evening including ‘MVP’ won by Isabella Warren, and ‘best couple’ presented to School Captains, Danielle Botha and Jonah Lincoln.

A big thank you to the Ball committee led by Mrs Smith, and the other teachers who attended, helped ensure the night ran smoothly and made it an enjoyable experience for everyone. It was a beautiful evening, and I am sure Year 11 students are looking forward to putting their own spin on it next year.
