When the night finally arrived, what a night it wasl After hours of preparation, everyone arrived looking stunning. Alighting to the cold but charming courtyard at Hillstone Golf Links, everyone spun in a rush of excitement from friend to friend, cameras in hand. And then. .. the doors opened and so began the dance floor party: some twirling, some spinning, a lot of jumping and many bruised feet. Ending much too soon, the night left us all in a dreamlike state. it was a wonderful success! A huge thank you must go to Mrs H Boltman, Mrs J O'Suilivan and Mrs V Ross for their unwavering dedication to helping make the night the success it was, as well as all the staff from both Grammar schools who supported the event. Their welcome contributions helped us so much. "'^@, r doffE:@ 17^/

friends, new energy, new dance moves and, of course, new dresses! For several months, eleven Grammar girls and five Grammar boys met every fortnight to brainstorm ideas and plans for the night. The Committee finally settled on the classy and exciting city theme: A Night in New York. The choice kick-started our planning for decorations, including a giant Statue of Liberty, fairy lights and, of course, helium balloons. The appetizers were delicious, exotic and so sophisticated that no one could remember their names! Music and entertainment choices were easy; we even arranged for some pool tables. After an overwhelming response from the cohort, we decided on Cerebral Palsy as our charity focus. From there, we set out planning a combined schools' barbeque to fund raise. Sizzling sausages, the smell of onions (for the rest of the day) and all of Year I I made up the party.
