Geraldton Grammar School students Year 11 and 12 ball held at the Batavia Coast Marina Boardwalk and Hall

The red carpet arrivals for Geraldton Grammar School’s combined Year 11 and 12 ball had style, class and some wacky ways to make an entrance. After pre-ball photographs were taken at the Batavia Coast Marina boardwalk, the Grammar’s VIP students — dressed up in an array of glamourous gowns and suits — made their way to their school grounds for their night of nights to begin. There, they were greeted by a crowd applauding their arrival as they made their way to their school’s Batavia Hall. Geraldton is in the middle of school ball season and it seems the school ball has become just as much about the arrival as the gown, the photos and the after-parties. There were vintage and classic cars, kombi vans, sports cars, even a motorbike. Some of the quirky modes of transport included a prime mover, a couple of girls arriving on the back of a ute and a couple disembarking from a boat. Once at the ball, the students had entree and mocktails in the gardens with their families before making their way into their Arabian Nights-themed ball. Inside the danced the night away and enjoyed taking formal photographs as well as taking advantage of a photo booth.
