Special guest and Hall of Fame recipient, Ron “Rowdy” McLean inspired the students and staff with his four main rules on life. Own your attitude, take responsibility for your choices, always do what you say you will and stick at it. He is the author of a book called “Play a Bigger Game” see http://rowdy.com.au/ for more information.
The Snowball was an outstanding success with performances by our very talented students and staff. Highlights included the teachers’ band “The Alternate Merchants” singing “Losing My Religion” and “The Best Day of My Life”. Austin Youman and Mason Harman were our hosts. Thank you to the judges including Miss Townsend, Ms Reim, Kasey Gaukroger, Huw Knox and Mrs Deb Merritt.
They had the difficult task of deciding on the best performances. First place went to the Secondary Dance Group, second place to Paige Ramage for her “Dancing Queen” piece, equal third place to Ty Patterson for his didgeridoo recital and Millie Roberts danced with Mackenzie Ramage to “Runaway Baby”. Well done to everyone who participated.
