Year 12s at Flying Fox Formal
Jacqui Goldenberg, Head of Community Service
If you’ve ever wondered what our Year 12 students do when they finish School, here’s your answer: they glam up and volunteer at the latest Flying Fox Hangout!
Flying Fox Hangouts are vibrant, community-based social events designed for young people with and without disability to connect and have fun. On Monday night, Flying Fox had a Formal, and several of our wonderful graduates attended as buddies.
We are incredibly proud to see our students maintaining this connection beyond school. Kilvington students truly live out our motto: 'Not for our own, but others’ good'.
