And another formal

Number two son went off to his year 10 formal on Tuesday. In the Australian Capital Territory School system you do seven years of primary school, four years of high school and two years of college so there are formals at the end of high school (year 10) and again at the end of college (year 12). It is very exciting for the 15/16 year olds, and they all looked super gorgeous.


Number two decided to rock an H&M grey suit, hawaiian shirt and one of his dad's ties (which he had picked out as a christmas present a year or two ago). We went round for pre-drinks to one of his friends' place (alcohol for the parents, thank you very much) and saw a dozen of the wee glamorous creatures. They don't wear dinner suits or formal gear by and large, just suits, although one young man looked very spiffing in a three piece with waistcoat and pocket chain. The girls were mostly in slimline full-length dresses and looked just lovely. Yes, he is much taller than his dad.



Number two had a great time, danced a lot then had an after party at another friends' house with a heated pool (!fancy!who are these people?) so they all had an unscheduled midnight swim. Today he's going into school to practice their performance for the final assembly tomorrow, which is followed by Pool Day, and then high school is finished except for the graduation next week.

  1. Another handsome boy. Aren't they like each other? My children look nothing like one another. I don't know where they came from. How are your boys so tall? I chose a tall husband (because I come from a long line of short people) and our children are all medium-to-tall but our son isn't as tall as his dad - to his disappointment. (I didn't choose R simply for his height... it was also for his thick black hair. What happened to that??)
