Choomalaka Festival & Feast
Location
We will not only showcase our undeniable SVC spirit and talent at Choomalaka, but also some of our new facilities! Junior School performances will begin in the Joyce Performance Centre, with additional performances, artwork and displays in both levels of the newly completed Doyle Wing. Follow the driveway down past the Joyce Performance Centre to find the food trucks and fire pits, and into the Callan Centre courtyard for food stalls. The Callan Centre and airbridge will remain closed for this event, however there is a spiral staircase for easy access to the courtyard.
Please note there will be no access via the Quad.
Plan Your Dinner!
Thanks to our Parents & Friends Association. Food stalls will be located between our new buildings in the courtyard - follow the driveway past the food trucks to the Callan Centre and Doyle Wing.
Cash and card facilities are available. Small notes and coins are kindly requested.
Food Trucks
Fried & Loaded, Davey Street Garage, Robbie's Woodfired Pizzas and Ruby & Ava have been confirmed for Choomalaka! Loaded fries and po'boys, dumplings and bao buns, woodfired pizzas and a selection of hot beverages will complement the P&F food stalls.
