The neon pool party for Tin Can Bay Year 6 was called an “awesome” celebration

A neon pool party had  40 Year 6 students from Tin can Bay plus their families –  approx 120 people celebrated!

Host, Yvonne Jensen from Cooloola Cove said, “Russell painted glow-in-the-dark giant twister on the ground outside, they also played neon volleyball, busted 600+ water balloons and there were disco lights on the dance floor and in the pool.”

The pool was the greatest hit on such a warm balmy night, constantly full of happy, energetic kids.

“We also put up black lights and invited all the kids to bring a white shirt on which I ironed a graduation motif. They all signed each other’s shirts with neon markers under the black lights. Everything glowed!

“The dance floor was pumping with laser lights and all the latest tunes. DJ Rusty was mixing up the tunes all night with his LED glasses and afro on.”

They ended the night with a giant three tier graduation cake and a sparkler send off. Lighting 300 sparklers to the song FIREWORK by Katy Perry.

Meanwhile over in Rainbow Beach, the school community bid farewell to students at the Surf Club.

A big thanks was given to Mr Grogan, Mrs McColl, Alice, Mrs Dargusch and all the staff and volunteers for the great job organising and decorating – but I am sure all parents and kids are grateful for everything done over all their years of schooling.

Light rain stopped the usual photos at the propeller, and all were treated to a massive lightning show, complete with fires, on Fraser Island.

Kids danced and played with the cameras and photo booth dress ups, and enjoyed the impressive platters and meals.

Micheal Grogan thanked all the businesses and community groups who sponsored bursaries again this year. Congratulations to all the award winners!
