Kia ora Rolleston, we are your three events leaders for 2024 and part of our job is to organise events such as the school formal which took place last Saturday 15 June.

This was an event for any of the year 12 and 13 learners who wished to attend. This year's theme was Grecian Gardens and was hosted at the Te Pae Convention Centre in town. We had an amazing turnout, with around 450 learners and staff. Congratulations to all of our award winners and a big thank you to Miss Henderson for organizing such an amazing event.

Let’s hear from our event leaders and see what they have to say about this year's formal!

"This year’s formal went amazing with everyone seeming to enjoy themselves. It was great to see so many people taking advantage of both the dance floor and the photo booth. A major thank you to the team at Te Pae Convention Centre for hosting us again this year." Milly Parkin, events leader.

"This year's formal will definitely be remembered as the best event of the year. The DJ kept everyone dancing all night long and the food was delicious, with a variety of options to suit everyone's needs. Everyone looked stunning in their formal attire and the photo booth was a huge a hit, capturing memories well cherish forever. It was the perfect night to celebrate with friends and simply enjoy ourselves." Aimee Webb, events leader.

"This evening will never be forgotten! It was surely memorable for me, seeing everyone in their unique suits and dresses. Congrats to the prize winners of the evening. The highlight of the evening was the dancefloor where I spent at least an hour and a half dancing alongside many of you." Ethan Scott, events leader. 

We hope everyone enjoyed their time! The photos taken by the photographers on the night should come out in the next few weeks so keep an eye out in your advisory spaces!
