Dio Today August 2019

Page 60

The Dio Ball is an iconic event in the School calendar and every year it just keeps getting better! Our Ball night lit up Alexandra Park with the theme ‘A Night in Havana’. The ballroom was dripping in tropical flowers and lush greenery with accents of fairy lights and sparkles. Our theme was certainly out of the box this year and it was amazing to see everything come together on the night – hopefully we created an event that the Year 12s and 13s will never forget! Everyone looked so gorgeous and we enjoyed good food, great company and attempted to dance in the mosh pit. We had multiple awards this year and the winners walked away with some outstanding prizes, thanks to our generous sponsors. Each and every girl was so deserving of her award. They went to students who embodied the 2019 theme ‘Ko Tātou’, demonstrating pride, personal best and unity inside and outside of school.

Thank you to our sponsors

Of course, this event would have been nothing without all the beautiful people behind it. Thank you to the Ball Council, a great bunch of girls who came to each meeting organised and with positive attitudes. You made planning the Ball so much fun and it has been very rewarding getting to know you!

Finally, to Mrs van Meeuwen, Mrs Wilson, Charlotte Blakey and Emily Hernon, thank you for everything. The endless chains of emails and late-night phone calls were certainly worth it in the end! Thank you for making this a year to remember. Ella Carter, School Ball Prefect
