Ryde Diploma students relaxing after wowwing 2000 competitors, VIPs and guests at the closing ceremony for the WoldSkills National competition at the iconic Capitol Theatre in Sydney. The team developed a 'night with the stars' concept which included a Hollywood walk of Fame on the 'sidewalk' outside the theatre, star arrangements in the foyers and a twinkling starcloth backdrop on the stage. The biggest challenge was to present 160 medals in 50 categories without losing audience interest of taking to much time. The challege was met and the ceremony was completed within 2.5 hours. The threatre management had never had an event like it and have already 'stolen' several student ideas for use in upcoming productions. This was the second WorldSkills closing ceremony that was organised by Ryde students, the first being in 2008-it is always nice to get a return gig from a satisfied client!
