RGHS Year 12 students negotiated a tough year of study during the global pandemic - learning from home, and missing out on the social contact and rituals that normally help them survive a pressure-filled year. But as life returns to relative normality... they were able to celebrate one milestone - the school formal. Yes it was about lipstick, hair, dresses and heels, but mostly about relaxing with their cohort of six years, together for the last time. They enjoyed three courses, games, awards, and dancing. There was a documentary made by one of the students, and a Photo Booth where they were playful children, still. I had the pleasure of capturing a classic Australian rite; here are some of my favourite images of the students arriving, all glammed up and ready to party, at Deckhouse, Woolwich.
