NSW school formals gallery special including Sydney, regional schools

From Ballina to Wagga, Manly to Dubbo, we captured all the action from the class of 2021’s Year 12 formals. See if you can spot yourself in our mega gallery.

After a year like no other, Year 12 students from across NSW were finally able to celebrate the end of high school in style.

From Ballina to Wagga, Manly to Dubbo, we were there to capture all the glitz and glam of the Year 12 formals.

Just a few months ago it looked as if the events would not even happen – and thankfully the formals were held prior to the recent spike in Covid numbers.

There was so much to celebrate after an unprecedented two years, which saw Year 12 students rise to the challenges of remote learning and rescheduled exams.

At Trinity Catholic College’s formal in Goulburn, Principal Gaye McManus, spoke to the remarkable resilience and strength of character Year 12 students have shown.

“This Year 12 cohort across all of Australia has actually had to suffer through Covid for two years,” she said.

“(They have) done it with much grace, strength and resilience, and we’re just really proud of them.”

We couldn’t agree more.

So, without further ado, here’s a collection of our favourite snaps from the class of 2021’s graduations.
