The Margaret Cleves School of Dance held its 64th annual concert and presentation of trophies recently in front of a large crowd.

“Our dancers performed beautifully and had a wonderful night,” Margaret Cleves School of Dance principal Margaret Reichelt OAM said.


Ms Reichelt congratulated examination students on their outstanding results and many achievements throughout the year.


The end of year trophies were presented by Chief of the Mount Gambier Caledonian Society Margaret Winterfield OAM.
