Close Up: Same Sex Couple Banned From School Dance

Schools balls can be fraught affairs - what to wear, where to go afterwards and who to bring as your partner.

It's the last decision that has caused controversy across the Tasman, after a private Anglican school banned a Year 11 student from bringing her girlfriend.

Hannah Williams was outraged, saying Ivanhoe Girls Grammar was homophobic and took a complaint to the Equal Oportunities Commission.

Mediation failed and Hannah and her girlfriend, Savannah Supski, never made the dance. Close Up speaks to the couple.
