Tumbi Umbi High School Disco

On Wednesday 19 September, 30 of our students attended the Tumbi Umbi High School combined schools disco. Our students had a fantastic time and all looked amazing in their sporting attire ranging from soccer players, basketballers, footy players, referees and cheerleaders to name a few. They all ripped up the dance floor with their fabulous moves while catching up with friends from other schools. Another great disco held by Tumbi High School. Thank you to all the teachers and support staff who came and helped and danced up a storm as well. A huge thanks to Mr Secomb for doing multiple bus trips to get our students to and from the disco.
