Dear Parents & Carers, even if you could not be there at White Bay Cruise Terminal last Friday night, I am sure you will share our delight at such a fantastic event for the school. The venue, food, drinks, auction and energy were above and beyond, and who doesn’t love a bit of friendly competition between trivia teams. Congratulations to the winning team who took their glory with such grace. Thanks to Amanda Cooton for the wonderful photography. Please click on link below to see all the photos of the evening.

This event was such a mammoth effort from many people, and on behalf of the P&C and the school we would like to personally thank GABRIELLE LEVETTE and TARA SMITH for their commitment and dedication and bringing the Gala to life. Special thanks goes to the Trivia Team Committee and all the volunteers who helped gather auction prizes, setup, serve, mark, organise, promote, run around and clean up. This event was a success because of all your hard work! THANK YOU!!!
