Centenary Gala - Tickets on sale NOW!
BOOK YOUR TICKETS TO GO IN THE DRAW TO WIN A LUXURY CAR SERVICE!
Attention Flappers and Gents!
In just over two weeks’ time, our Kilvington community will gather at Merrimu Receptions for the spectacular Centenary Gala to celebrate the School reaching an amazing 100-year milestone.
You definitely don’t want to miss this one-in-your-lifetime event, so book your tickets here. Tickets are $175 per person or $165 per person when booking a table of ten or twelve.
All guests who book tickets, either individually or as a table, before 5.00pm on Wednesday 31 August will go in the draw to win a luxury car service to and from the Gala AND a bottle of giggle juice, I mean, sparkling wine. Now that’s putting on the ritz! Come along, kick up your heels and party like it’s 1923.
WHAT ABOUT TABLE SEATING?
There have been some questions about the Gala seating plans and how people can join a specific table or put together a table with uneven numbers.
Please don’t let these worries get in the way of buying a ticket/tickets and joining us for the most roaring party Kilvington has ever seen.
Individuals can nominate a specific table to join as part of the booking process and uneven table numbers are absolutely fine.
And with all the amazing activities and entertainment, our guests won’t be spending much time at the table, rather they will be having a whangdoodle of a time. Book your tickets here.
Your ticket to the Centenary Gala will include:
- A red carpet entry and photos with our cool cat photographer.
- Pre-dinner drinks and canapes.
- A delicious three-course dinner including dessert.
- A generous beverage package of free flow sparkling wine, wine and beer.
- A Kilvonian mcee straight from the ABC Melbourne newsroom!
- Live music from the six-piece Baker Boys Band to get the party started and help guests dance the night away.
- Live entertainment by the Great Gatsby Dancers to show everyone how it’s done (the Charleston that is!).
- Access to the fun photo booth, raffle and lucky door prizes.
- Speakeasy bar to purchase spirits or your favourite tipple.
Suffice to say, the Centenary Gala will be the bees knees, the cat’s meow and a ducky good time. So go on old sport and book now. As they say, a little party never killed nobody!
