Oceanreef High School Ball

The Ocean Reef Senior High School Ball was on Saturday the 28th of March which was held at the Hyatt Ballrooms on Adelaide Terrace. These kids where very well behaved and exuded an air of confidence normally reserved for students that have graduated. They may well have deserved the indulgence of their parents on this memorable occasion and be well entitled to their hedonistic attitude . More Photos at my Gallery.
On another note unrelated to the Students above and a general observation of our culture.
Nowadays parents of students assume it is socially acceptable to supply sixteen to seventeen year old girls and boys with alcohol even children not their own. It is no wonder Australia has a binge drinking problem when parents say it is ok to break the law as a rite of passage. Now i am guilty as anyone of overindulging my offspring as i supplied my son with vodka 2 month prior to his 18th birthday for his after party. He treated that as a privilege not a rite but i still regret my poor judgment some 7 years latter. In that i was condoning bending and breaking the law as supplying minors with alcohol is a more serious offense than drinking as a minor, we as parents should set a better example for right from wrong. No wonder the kids of today have such poor boundaries and judgement when parent cowtow to there beloved children. The parents need to grow up themselves and take responsibility for their and their offsprings choices .
