For some, it's a stepping stone to further education, while for others, it's the gateway to adulthood and the workforce.
With exams now over, Deni High School’s Year 12 class officially marked the end of schooling with their Year 12 formal.
The evening of celebrations gave graduating students the opportunity to reflect on friendships, experiences and memories from the year that was.
While some students eagerly await their ATAR scores and university offers, others are diving into work opportunities or wisely taking time for self-reflection and rejuvenation.
Regardless of their chosen paths, these young adults are well-prepared for success, thanks to the comprehensive education and support they received at DHS.
The evening began with the time-honoured tradition of gathering at the Deniliquin Court House, where excited students posed for memorable photos against the backdrop of the iconic building.
This particular part of the formal allows for parents and students alike to be able to mingle with one another, reminisce and take plenty of photos.
From the court house, the graduating class and their guests spent the evening at the Timbercutter in Mathoura.
