The South Burnett’s formal season kicked off in style on Friday night with Nanango State High School students rolling up to the school auditorium for their special night.<\/p>\n

Like just about everything else this year, the Year 12 formal was a different-style event due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

There were no crowds lining the red carpet and there would be no dancing … still banned under COVID-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n

But a handful of family members turned up to take photos. They stood around in small groups – socially distanced – and clapped as each of the students arrived.<\/p>\n

At one stage earlier this year, everyone wondered if the traditional school formals would still be able to go ahead – after all, schoolies had officially been cancelled.<\/p>\n

But with COVID Safe plans in place, all the South Burnett high schools now have dates pencilled in.<\/p>\n

The Nanango students, decked out in ballgowns and suits, had big smiles as they walked up the red carpet into the hall.<\/p>\n

They arrived in a myriad of vehicles, ranging from farm utes to 60s muscle cars, a Kombi van, moped and even a high-tech Tesla.<\/p>\n
