Excellence in something lol Scott, Heather & boys, Wedlings, Jaxon and Talia came. When it was Leila's turn to go up, her name was said correct I think couldn't hear the ending cause someone shouted out prematurely lol Leila did the Korean heart sign with her fingers while waiting and then she did the PUKANA when her name was said. After we waited outside for her and took photos. Lai'i and her boyfriend came to congratulate her, Uncle Oliver and Aunty Fina Schwenke came as well.
