VICTORIA Point State High School students had their formal at Sirromet at Mount Cotton on Wednesday.
Held during the week of their graduation, the event was full of fun and glamour.
More than 51,000 Queensland year 12s finish school on Friday (November 16).
Independent Schools Queensland executive director David Robertson said it was a milestone students should feel proud of.
“Both students and families can also take confidence from successive surveys of Queensland year 12 graduates which confirm that the overwhelming majority of school leavers are either in education, training or employment six months after finishing school,” Mr Robertson said.
Queensland Independent Schools Parents Network executive officer Sue Kloeden encouraged graduates to celebrate the end of school safely.
“I’m sure the parents and carers of this graduating class will be thinking back on their child’s first day at school and marvelling at how far their sons and daughters have come and how much they’ve grown and learned,” Ms Kloeden said.
“This can be an emotional time for mums, dads and carers who’ve been at the sides of these young people, encouraging and supporting them through all the highs and lows of growing up and going to school.”
