We are very much looking forward to hosting our annual Craigburn Celebration Night on Monday 9th December.

Celebration Night is about celebrating the end of the school year through song and dance performances and an opportunity to acknowledge and thank our students, staff and parent community for their efforts and support throughout the year.

The school choir will be leading the singing of a number of Christmas carols as part of the evening’s festivities.

We will also be acknowledging staff who are leaving, drawing prizes for our Christmas raffle and farewelling and extending our best wishes to graduating year 6 students and families.

Please take note the following details:

• Students are required to be at their classrooms by no later than 6.00pm where they will then be ushered to the oval by their teachers at 6.20pm in readiness for a 6.30pm start.
• Class teachers will provide families with information regarding dress / costumes.
• Families and friends are encouraged to arrive early to find a suitable spot on the oval banks facing the oval where the performances will take place. Many families choose to bring along picnic style tea.
• Our Friends of Craigburn Team have kindly organised options for an early bite to eat by pre-ordering Domino’s pizza to arrive by 5.00pm. Please check in with their recent post with ordering information about pizza, drinks and celebration wrapper choccies.
• We ask that students have a snack / bite to eat prior to 6:00pm, as the performance will finish at approximately 8.00pm. Students can bring a water bottle with them to keep throughout the performances.
• The playground will be marked off – so younger / older siblings will need to sit with their families.
• Programs will be available on the night for a gold coin donation.
• The Christmas Raffle will be drawn towards the end of the evening. We are gratefully accepting donations – see post for more details.

Please note:

As the evening is a school community celebration, as per Departmental policy requirements, we kindly ask for your cooperation in refraining from alcohol consumption to ensure a safe and inclusive environment. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.
