We are looking forward to gathering together for our Celebration Service tonight, Wednesday 6th December at 6:30pm.
We are now at capacity for tonight's Celebration Service. For any families hoping for extra tickets, you are welcome to wait in the foyer until the Service commences and we will check to see if we have extra seats available from 6.35pm (please note we are restricted on how many people can be in the paranaple centre so we cannot promise there will be seats available).
Some important reminders:
All students are required to wear full formal summer uniform:
Our evening will begin from 5pm in Market Square with the opportunity for families to gather together for a BYO picnic dinner before heading upstairs.
Doors to the paranaple Centre will open at 6pm with all students needing to be seated by 6.20pm.
Students in Kinder-Year 2 will be seated in the Aberdeen Room on Level 2 and can be dropped off at the Aberdeen Room and collected from there at the end of service.
Year 3-7 students will be seated in the auditorium with their teachers.
Year 1 to 6 students will be walking to Splash Aquatic Centre for water activities, swim carnival fun and a picnic. Parents are welcome to join us for the day. Please see Schoolbox for further information and to complete the consent form.
