High school sweethearts celebrate day of love - plus more
SCHOOL WRAP
The traditional day of love saw Mossman State High School awash in a sea of red and pink.
Roses from Floral Edge in Port Douglas were handed out to students across the year levels, accompanied by handmade boxes of chocolates. Many gifts were made in the spirit of friendship, with a few biting the bullet and asking their favourite person out on a date.
The Senior and Junior Leaders worked tirelessly through the last two weeks to sell, organise, package and deliver the presents. All the money raised will be going to the 2023 Student Council Gift to the school.
