And so, on a glorious summer’s night, the most glamorous evening in the Xaverian social calendar was held – The Film and Media Awards. Our talented and fabulous students arrived in full evening dress and sauntered down the red carpet, where awaiting photographers captured the moment. Inside was a no-expense spared Champagne and Popcorn reception, where our stars gathered in excited conversation. Eventually the doors to the ceremony opened and everyone took their seats in the Awards Hall. Awards were given out for many categories, including Best Film, Best Music Video and Best Print Design. Other awards included The Deslandes Colbert Award, The Uber-Geek and The Rising Star. After the awards, our students danced to movie soundtracks and enjoyed each other’s company, before making their way back into the last moment’s of the sunlight. It was a wonderful and very special way to say thank you and au revoir to a fantastic and supremely talented bunch of students.
