It was the party they had been anticipating for years.
And on Thursday night Perth Grammar School’s Class of ’23 celebrated the end of their school days.
With exams over, scores of young people looking forward to the next chapter of their lives gathered for one last hurrah before taking the next step on their journey, whether to university, college, work or elsewhere.
Dressed to the nines in glamorous outfits many had been planning for weeks, they descended on the town’s Huntingtower Hotel for a night never to be forgotten.
And as they said their farewells to friends they had grown up with, our photographer captured the special occasion.
Perth Grammar School‘s leavers’ prom is one of the first to feature in our Class of ’23 series, in which we will showcase pictures from some of the leavers’ proms and dances for secondary schools across Tayside and Fife.
