Family and friends watched on, proud of their loved ones' major achievement.

Despite the COViD-19 pandemic, students made the most of their big night, surrounded by those who mean the most to them.

Now, they're getting ready to embark on a brand new challenge with their whole lives ahead of them.

The Daily Advertiser photographer Les Smith was their to help capture the special moment as they prepared to begin the night's celebration.
