st mary’s college senior ball 2012 A Golden Ticket from Willy Wonka ensured admittance to the 2012 St Mary‘s College Senior Ball. Year 11 and 12 students, the partners and parents enjoyed a night of dancing, dinner and entertainment at the Cable Beach Club Resort. The students and their partners showcased their dance moves, perfected during dancing lessons in terms one and two. The Annual College Ball has become an anticipated event on the College calendar and this year‘s Ball did not disappoint. The students were a credit to themselves, their families and their College. 19.
staff and students experience success Secondary staff members Paul Woodbridge, Aidan Mitchell and Samantha Baird recently participated in the 700km mountain bike relay. The Gibb River Bike Ride started from Derby, cyclists travelled up the heart of the rugged Gibb River Road, and finished at beautiful El Questro. The ride was all in the name of charity. This event is now simply known as ‗The Gibb Challenge‘ . This year‘s fundraising event was for Police Officer Ryan Marron from Hall‘s Creek to assist in his recovery from the crippling Murray Valley Encephalitis. With Ryan‘s medical bills tallying well over the $4000 a day, this event has been supporting his causes. Although the primary funds will go towards the ‗Ryan Marron Trust‘ teams this year were also able to donate fundraising to other nominated charities of choice and delegate where their funds were distributed. A fundraising event to assist Miss Sam also raised money for the Darc Inc Community Art Centre in Derby, Ardyaloon Playgroup and Mr Paul and Mr Aidan raised money for Caritas and the Disabled Children's Foundation. 'Boab Belles' team member Miss Sam said her highlights include getting fit and healthy, whilst admiring amazing scenery, enjoying some fun and camaraderie with other riders and doing it all for some really heroic charities. Mr Paul and Mr Aidan entered the event as a 'solo team' to complete the distance despite strong headwinds each day and also successfully negotiating the Pentecost River crossing. They achieved an amazing feat. All in all, the challenge was a huge success with almost 60 teams competing, over 400 people attending and raising over a massive $95,000 for Ryan at last counts tally. Well done, Sam, Paul and Aidan and all participants. Sam Baird West Australian 2012 Young Travel Writer Winner Congratulations to Bridey Eggleton, Year 8!
