Speech Night information

We are delighted to once again hold our traditional end-of-year Speech Night celebrations. You will find details about this year's arrangements below.

Tickets

Speech Night is free of charge; however, tickets must be reserved online via GoTix to facilitate seating. Tickets may also be obtained in advance in person at The Capital Theatre Box Office at 50 View St, Bendigo.

 

The Ulumbarra Theatre contains adequate seating for two guests per participating student. You do not need to book a seat for your child as they will be allocated a seat with their peers. You are required to book seats for each of the Speech Night events you wish to attend separately, as each evening is treated as an individual event.

 

Tickets can be secured via GoTix using the links below:

  • Junior School (Years 3 to 6): Tuesday 3 December, 6:00–7:00pm approx. 
    Book tickets >
  • Senior School (Years 7 to 9): Wednesday 4 December, 6:00–8:00pm approx. 
    Book tickets >
  • Senior School (Years 10 to 12): Thursday 5 December, 6:00–8:00pm approx. 
    Book tickets >

We ask parents to please consider the needs of other families and attend the event they have booked. This will help avoid spare seats that other families would have reserved. If you need to cancel pre-purchased seats, please call the Capital Theatre Box office on 5434 6100.

Livestream

For those families who cannot make it, you can watch any of the Speech Nights live or after the event via the links below:
