St Richard's leavers go out in style

Glenn Clark, assistant principal at the Roman Catholic College, said: "It provided a wonderful backdrop for the arrival of all our beautifully dressed pupils.

"They made a suitably impressive entrance in an amazing assortment of vehicles ranging from vintage Rolls Royce, brand new Rolls Royce, a James Bond "wanabee" in an Aston Martin DB9, a stretched mini, to the usual array of limousines, but where was the Fire Engine?

"The Pavilion Suite was transformed by Karen Austin's magical touch and the black and white theme added elegance to this special occasion.

"A wonderful evening was had by all due in no short measure to the excellent organisation by the Powdermills staff and the thoughtful and attentive help they gave throughout the evening.

"In typical St Richard's fashion, staff and pupils joined together in a memorable, warm and friendly celebration.

"We will be sad to see the 'Class of 2008' go.

"Good luck to you all in your futures."
