Pageant day finally arrived. I was so excited to see the floats arrive on South Terrace.
It was early and I could already see people starting to arrive to set up their picnic rugs behind the blue honour line. I could hear the carols playing through the streets, I started to get even more excited!
As we all started to get ready in the morning my whole body was buzzing with energy I wanted to jump, sing, dance and do cartwheels all at the same time! Watching everybody transform into Clowns, Christmas trees, pirates, fairies and everything else that little kids dreams are made of was magical. Even though it was super early no one was complaining, there were smiles all around as we got into costume and make up. I truly felt like a princess in my gown and make up!
When we hit South Terrace the magic continued, parents and their kids stopping us in the streets for photos as myself and the other princesses skipped along to the tunes of the different floats and the carols being played.
And then the count-down began, it was pageant time and it was all smiles all along the way. I couldn’t get the smile off my face as we passed the crowd, it was truly memorable. Read more…

Community Credit Union Christmas Pageant South Australia
I thought I would take this opportunity to thank everyone for the experience that has been the Credit Union Christmas Pageant.
Words cannot not describe what an honour it has been for me to be this year’s King. To be able to share this experience with so many people has made it even more special.
Leading up to Pageant day, I have been very fortunate to visit a number of schools with my fellow Royal family, bringing the Credit Union Christmas Pageant magic to kids who may not be fortunate enough to attend Pageant day. We did a couple of performances too which was a lot of fun!
A special moment for me was shooting hoops with the Royal Family and kids at the Riverland Special School. Whilst in Berri we also visited St Catherine’s Aged Care where we met many of the residents including a lovely 104 year old who was delighted to meet the Pageant Royal family. Read more…

Community Credit Union Christmas Pageant South Australia
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the wonderful experience I have had being part of the Next Top Credit Union Executive competition.
Firstly thank you to everyone who voted for me along the way, followed my posts and gave me encouragement and inspiration.
I feel very blessed to have been part of the process and been able to share what we do in the social space at Community CPS.
Presenting to the conference in Florida was amazing. It was great to meet my fellow colleagues in the final 5 Jill Huls, Ashley Kohlrus, Nate Muniz and Peter Walker. I learnt a lot from their projects and presentations. They are a very clever and talented bunch! You can view their presentations online.
Some highlights for me include meeting an industry leader – Tim McAlpine from Currency Marketing and one of the best sessions was presented by Filene on strategic foresight.
And of course a big congratulations to this year’s winner Ashley Kohlrus.
Thanks again everyone, I was very proud to be able to represent Australia and Community CPS on an international stage.

Your first Pageant memory?
Being on my dad’s shoulders so I could see the floats over the crowd and asking what the noise was that I could hear. Dad told me it was the grand prix cars!
What am I looking forward to most this year?
The look on my daughter’s face when she sees me dressed as a Princess. It will be like a fairy-tale book coming to life for her and the smile on the children’s faces when we enter the Children’s hospital bringing a bit of the pageant to them. Read more…
