After months of planning by an enthusiastic committee led by Tanika Kirchner-Scheer, the 2019 Balaklava High Formal was held on April 6th in the Balaklava Town Hall. With a theme of "Masquerade", the Hall was stylishly decorated with a giant mask, feathers, balloons and fairy lights and many staff also added a mask to follow the theme. Arriving in a variety of classic cars, a hot rod, a truck and by foot, the students and their invited guests had gone to a lot of effort to make this a special event with glamorous dresses and sharp suits. The students all really enjoyed the music provided by DJ Holzy and after the dinner, the dance floor was very busy! The Prom King and Queen Mitchell Taylor and Haylee Studham were popular choices along with Prom Prince and Princess Jack Heaslip and Chloe Lamond. 

A special thanks to Tanika Kirchner-Scheer who started the organising through Community Studies last year but went above and beyond the requirements of the subject in the time and effort that she put in to it. Thanks also to the committee of Year 11 and 12 students - they all contributed very effectively to the evening's success.
