From 7.00pm a vast variety of vehicles transported our guests to the "Enchanted Garden" themed ball.  As usual, the welcome by parents and staff was fantastic as students arrived at the venue.

Many thanks to Karen and Stephen from Talisman Nursery for  providing all the lovely shrubs and plants for the garden theme and for their boundless energy both in setting up and packing away at the end of the night.
