STUDENTS at Berry Street School and the Education First Youth Foyer are putting the finishing touches on their dance moves in preparation for their upcoming debutante ball.
Taking place on September 14 at Eastbank, the 12 couples will take to the dance floor, with many of them not having done a debutante ball before and will be given the chance to shine and enjoy an experience that is offered in mainstream schools.
Education First Youth Foyer student, Byron Macumber said, “This will be my first debutante ball so I am really looking forward to it. I’m enjoying gaining experience and knowledge in dancing and it’s a bit of fun.”
Berry Street School student, Chloee Hughes said, “This is also my first debutante ball. I’m really looking forward to dressing up.
“My favourite dance is the bus stop.
“It’s pretty cool that the school and community have organised and put this on for us.”
The debutante ball has ben made possible through the Berry St Masonic Support Group, Freemasons and the Goulburn Valley Community Fund as well as Goulburn Murray Local Learning and Employment Network, GOTAFE, City of Greater Shepparton, Wollards Auto Body Repairs, Northend Bakehouse, Rotary Central Shepparton, Lions Club Shepparton, S.Wright, Talisman and T.Speller.
