2021 Babinda Seniors Graduate and Celebrate
BABINDA P-12 State School’s 2021 graduating seniors celebrated the end of high school - and thirteen years of formal schooling - on Friday 12th November with a formal held at the Babinda RSL Hall.
COVID-19 restrictions in 2020 saw the school make changes to the formal, most notably, no longer holding the event at a venue in Cairns but at the Babinda RSL Hall.
The re-location of the formal to a venue in Babinda has meant that members of the Babinda community have been able to celebrate alongside the invited guests.
Again this year, relatives and friends were present for the arrival of the graduates and watched on as they walked the ‘red-carpet’.
True to Babinda’s ‘sunshine in the rain’ catchphrase, there was a downpour that afternoon that fortunately had cleared up by the time the seniors arrived at 6pm for their celebration.
The RSL Hall was decorated with beautiful long white tables, matching white chair covers, hanging drop lights and white and gold balloons. Students were fortunate enough to be able to celebrate not only with their peers and teachers but also with parents, grandparents and siblings – something that is not the norm at most schools as bigger class sizes mean restrictions on the number of family members attending.
