Dressed in their red carpet best, debutantes, educators and parents stepped out in ballgowns and suites at the the Lincoln Heights 2024 Debs Ball.
The event, which was held at Style and Grace, was a fund raising initiative hosted by the school.

The 28 learners who did participate need to be commended for their effort,” said a spokesperson for the school.
The highlights of the evening included ballroom dancing which was expertly choreographed by Mr Bisnath. The learners performed the graceful Viennese Waltz and the disco classic Staying Alive by the BeeGees . There was much anticipation as the announcement of the winners for the evening drew closer, including the learner who raised the most amount of money for the school.
The title of King went to Yadveer Maharaj while Dheeya Dookie was crowned Queen.

All funds raised by the learners will be used for the upliftment of Lincoln Heights Secondary School.
