Whitsunday Christian College invites the community to join them for an exciting evening of fun at their highly anticipated 'Night Under the Stars'.
Scheduled for Friday, August 16, this biennial celebration promises music, amusement stalls, an 'Eat Street' experience, fireworks, and more.
"We are delighted to announce our biannual 'Night Under the Stars', a family-friendly event that embodies our community spirit," said Principal Kylie Langshore.
"Organized by our dedicated students and staff, this evening promises to be a highlight of the year, celebrating the vibrant community here at Whitsunday Christian College.
"We aim to open our doors and connect with the local community through this special event.
"Families will have the opportunity to explore our campus, engage with our school community, and enjoy a range of activities spread across the grounds."
The event will feature a Farmyard Nursery, inflatables zone with jumping castles and the mechanical bull, Mr Poppa’s Balloons, face painting, art exhibition, book fair, sideshow amusements, and more, illuminated by festoon lighting to enhance the Eat Street ambiance.
Students will host amusement stands and perform on stage, showcasing their talents through various musical performances.
As part of the night's theme, families can participate in the 'Star Gazers Lucky Stars Competition', collecting stars around the College for a chance to win a Nintendo Switch Lite.
The event offers a memorable experience for all.
“Community building is at the heart of our vision, and this event embodies that goal”, added Mrs Langshore.
“We invite you to join us, stay awhile, enjoy the festivities, share a meal, and embrace the winter atmosphere.”
“Events such as ‘Night Under the Stars' highlight how vital community is in shaping our students' educational journey.
“Our students actively contribute to planning and executing the event, learning valuable lessons in cooperation, empathy, and leadership.
“These skills extend beyond academics, preparing them for future endeavours. Such occasions also cultivate a deep sense of belonging and pride within our school community, reinforcing our identity as members of the Whitsunday Christian College family.”
