And a Sea of Collegiate Blue descended on Hobie Beach

11 October 2013 By admin

One of the traditions of the Collegiate High School is that after the Matric final assembly and valedictory service they all descend on Hobie Beach for a swim in their school uniforms.

This year the Apprentice Longhair, our daughter Brittany, was part of the happy throng that indulged in this traditional ‘cleansing’ ceremony – it seems just like yesterday that she and her friends were entering pre-primary up the road.

Exams start on Monday for some and we would like to get all maudlin and thank her school and friends for being such a great support – between the Longhair, the Kangaroo, the Apprentice Longhair and I we did shed a tear or two at this passing rite this morning.
