Maryborough State High School formal set to be held this month

As Maryborough State High School gets ready to hold its formal, we look back at the glitz and glamour from St James Lutheran College and Hervey Bay State School’s big nights.

The third formal of the Fraser Coast school year is set to be held next week after other students in their final year have already graced the red carpet.

It comes after St James Lutheran College and Hervey Bay State High School each held formals at the start of the year.

St James was the first to hold its formal, which went ahead at the Hervey Bay Boat Club in April.

Check out our gallery of the event here.

Hervey Bay State High School followed last month, electing to move its formal from November to May.

The event was held at Urangan’s Waterfront Restaurant and even rainy weather couldn’t dampen the spirits of the graduating students.

See our bumper gallery here.

Maryborough State High School will be the next to host its formal on June 21.

Last year the school held its formal on the school grounds in Kent St.

Issy Conroy De-Voss, Eliza Jockers and Lola Lonsdale arrive at the St James Lutheran College formal.

Hundreds of people gathered to watch the students arrive, dressed to the nines, in classic cars, modern vehicles and even a limousine.

This year, arrivals will be held at the school ahead of a dance before the students are bussed to a reception at Maryborough Services and Citizen’s Memorial Club.

Xavier Catholic College: August 30
