End of Year Gathering
The Friends' School warmly invites you and your family to attend our annual End of Year Gathering.
Wednesday 3 December from 6.00pm
The Farrall Centre | 395 Argyle Street, North Hobart

This year the theme is 'Active Hope'. This is an opportunity for The Friends’ School community to come together to listen, reflect, centre and share. The End of Year Gathering includes contributions from all sections of the School and staff. During the event we will welcome our Quaker Advisors to say a few words. We will have a variety of music to enjoy, while also allowing some time for reflection.
All guests, including students in the audience, wishing to attend are requested to book via this link. Please note students who are participating or presenting are not required to book. There is a maximum of four people per booking.
We look forward to you joining us for this meaningful and reflective event.
