More than 700 people packed into the Leeton High School MPC for the Parkview Public presentation evening in the final days of the 2018 school calendar to recognise those students who had enjoyed an exemplary year.
Academic, cultural and sporting pursuits were all recognised on a night highlighted by performances from the school's senior dance ensemble and band, while the unveiling of a short film produced by Western Riverina Arts on the school's Wiradjuri Dance and another produced by teach.NSW on the school in general were well received by the large crowd.
