Congratulations to Dan England (1998-00)..

Up until a few months ago, Dan was working at the Choice petrol station at Coopers Plains. The dreadlocked singer is on the verge of a major breakthrough because he was one of ‘Australian Idols’ 12 finalists.

Although Dan has been getting messages of support from all round Australia, he claimed that many of his former Nudgee schoolmates might have a hard time recognizing him. He says it is not just the dreadlocks, which haven’t been cut for years, but he has also shed 50kg. At school he says he was about 120kg.
