SURPRISED STUDENT: Luke Scott’s reaction as he was named the Gold Cultural Prize winner.

DALBY State High School’s high achievers and hard workers were rewarded for their dedication and commitment at the annual Dalby State High School annual awards evening on Monday, as proud parents and teachers gathered to celebrate the students’ success.

Students from Years 7 to 12 were acknowledged for their academic, cultural and leadership achievements throughout the year.

Principal Dean Russell opened the evening by highlighting some of the school’s major successes in 2019 including their musical production of Little Shop of Horrors, the Gold Coast Kokoda Challenge, Relay for Life and the recent performance of the War Artist, a collaboration with Australian novelist Simon Cleary and high-profile quintet Topology.

Maranoa MP David Littleproud, Warrego MP Ann Leahy and Western Down Regional Council Mayor Paul McVeigh attended to help celebrate the students’ achievements.

The awards finished in high spirits as teachers took to the stage for the highly anticipated staff dance, with a parody of The Git Up Challenge and Old Town Road.
