The carnival wasn’t just about competition—it was also about fun!

The Year 12 Costume Parade featured creative costumes inspired by TV and movie characters, adding a festive flair. The Dunkatron had the crowd cheering as brave teachers and students took their turns, while the Zinc Station kept everyone safe and sun-smart during the festivities.
