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.
