Wairoa College ICE Ball

Wairoa College has revived the tradition of having a College Ball. The "1995 Ice Ball" was the 8th in the new series which allows 6th & 7th Form pupils to attend and calls upon the 5th Formers to be involved with the service duties. So successful are these functions that it appears that the tradition will continue for quite awhile. To see the young ladies elegantly dressed in evening gowns & the young men in tails was magic.

Mrs Tracey Purcell & Head Boy William Christie Jnr. The new tradition calls upon the Head Girl & Head Boy to begin the evening by dancing together. They then dance with the Principal and the Principal's escort. Within minutes the floor is swamped with young people having a ball.
