We had our Senior Ball on Saturday 11 August at the Hotel Coachman. As with every other year, patrons and Hotel staff commented on how well behaved and polite our students were. We are proud to have such respectful and mature students at the College. Thank you to all those who made the night a success, particularly to Mrs Elliot, Mr Dobson and the Ball Committee.
