Year 11 Dinner Dance
To conclude two weeks of exams and assessments that had been stressful and demanding for many of us, we, the Year 11s, celebrated Trinity’s first Dinner Dance at Beaumonde on the Point. The night was an excellent way to end what had been a challenging semester and one that will be a highlight of the year. This was made all the more spectacular by amazing music, food, entertainment and staff. The venue was incredible, a dinner hall perched on the river with stunning views that made for an awesome photo background. Staying true to Trinity’s colours, blue and green was the theme. Balloons, lights and streamers covered the venue, painting the venue blue and green when the lights were dimmed. We were able to arrange our own tables and pick our dearest friends to spend the night with. Before entering, we were offered mocktails, socialised on the balcony
and left to enjoy the river at night. After being ushered to our tables, we enjoyed a Welcome to Country and didgeridoo performance by Indigenous students, Emmet Hodder-Ryan (11.2), Colby Sibosado (11.1) and George Warmdean (11.5). Dinner was a buffet of chicken, beef, pasta and salad served by very friendly catering staff. Over the delicious meal, we enjoyed the company of our friends and their partners. Dessert was as delicious as dinner; an option of gluten-free brownies and Italian meringues. Trinity Old Boy, DJ Primz, aka Matteo Primerano (’18) entertained us with countless bangers to dance to. The highlight of my night truly was enjoying the dance floor with my friends and partner. The dancing was accompanied with glitter face-paint from Born to Sparkle. Almost all of us left covered in glitter, the boys with glitter-beards and
the girls with glitter stripes down their face. Even some teachers couldn’t resist and indulged in some glittery face-paint. A huge thank you goes to the staff who gave up their time to chaperone and enjoy the night with us. It was great to spend an evening with our teachers and celebrate our dedication and sacrifice over the past semester. The night truly was unforgettable and it would not have been possible if it wasn’t for the immense planning and dedication from the staff, especially our amazing Head of Year, Ms Amanda Marocchi. The stunning venue, decoration, food and entertainment were all the product of months of intricate planning and preparation from the staff which we are all very grateful for.
