Sixth formers said goodbye to Felpham Community College in glittering style.
The 140 students and members of staff staged their annual prom in the Charlton Suite at Goodwood Racecourse.
The event – led by head of sixth form Noreen Williams – was notable for its array of finery and its air of achievement as the pupils
celebrated their friendships and successes at the college.
Sixth form manager Sharon Knight said: "For the college, it was the chance to celebrate what the sixth-form students have done while they have been with us.
"For them, it's about attending one of their final events before they leave the college for good."
A variety of awards was presented as one of the highlights of the night.
Those which recognised selfless actions included the Mr Motivator Award to Sean Corrigan for his work with the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme.
He was nominated by his peer group of students for keeping them going and completing a 56km hike over three days.
The outstanding achievement award for charity work went to Elena Stevens.
Elena has been pivotal in raising thousands of pounds for charity during the past five years. She has instigated charity work and has held the college's charity committee together for the past two years.
Other awards were of a novelty nature to provide some fun on the night.
The students were also entertained by a screening of a couple of clips of work compiled by those who have completed the media course at the college.
