JOIN US FOR TWILIGHT MOVIE NIGHT!
Get ready for our first whole school social event of 2026, hosted by the Girton Parents & Friends Association (GPF) and Friends of Junior School (FoJS).
Join us on Friday 1 May for a fun-filled evening under the stars, featuring the movie ‘Lilo & Stitch’. Set up your picnic, rugs, blankets, and bean bags on the Junior School oval and enjoy snacks and treats from the student-run snack bar.
This event is open to all Girton families and is a great opportunity to make new connections. Children under 5 and Year 12 students from Girton can attend for free.
Please note that this is an alcohol-free event, and children must be supervised at all times by a responsible adult. Tickets are $10 per person or $40 for families.
Important update: 2026 Foundation Day
Due to an unforeseen scheduling change at the Sacred Heart Cathedral, our original booking is no longer available and we have worked together to secure the next suitable date.
Foundation Day will now take place one week later than planned, moving from Friday 8 May to Friday 15 May, starting at 6pm.
Foundation Day is a key event in our calendar, and a moment for our community to reflect on the school’s history, celebrate our Values and come together in a shared sense of belonging.
Attendance for all students from Years 3-12 students is compulsory, and we appreciate the support of families in prioritising this important occasion. We will send more information towards the end of Term 1, including how to apply for an exemption in extenuating circumstances. If you have any questions about Foundation Day, please email Kristi Mitchell at kristimitchell@girton.vic.edu.au.
Winter Uniform Suite – Effective Monday 4 May
Ordinarily, the transition from Summer to Winter Uniform Suite coincides with Foundation Day. However, as School Photos will now take place before the rescheduled Foundation Day, all students are required to wear their full winter uniform from Monday 4 May to ensure consistency across all student photos.
Updated School Photo dates
- Junior School: 7–8 May (previously 14-15 May)
Senior School: 11–13 May
We look forward to sharing a memorable Foundation Day with our students and families.
