On Tuesday, September 17, senior students put on their best suits and dressed up to the nines, and together with staff danced the night away at The Woolshed at Emerald Bank.

“The Debutante Ball is a much-anticipated event on our calendar for all involved,” principal Angela Buxton said.

“Being able to provide this opportunity to our students is a privilege, and it is rare that there is a dry eye as we witness the growth and maturity of our students. It is truly a night of celebration.”

Verney Rd School provided photos from the special night.
