2020 YEAR 11 SEMI-FORMAL EXPECTATIONS

All the arrangements are well under way in preparation for a successful Year 11 Semi Formal on Saturday 22 August at CBHS Auditorium. The organising committee have gone to a lot of effort to make this a fun and safe night.

To help ensure the evening is a success, we need to be explicit in our expectations:

• Normal school standards of behaviour and adherence to school rules and school by-laws for all attendees,students and partners apply. Failure to comply with this criteria will mean the attendee will be asked to leave the event. Parents/caregivers will be contacted and asked to make appropriate arrangements for their transport home.

• Entry is by ticket only. There are no door sales.

• All Girls must bring their School ID along with their Ticket for entry. (Details given upon purchase of your ticket will be checked to avoid on-sales).

• This is a smoke, drug and alcohol-free event. All pre-event functions should also be smoke, drug and alcohol-free. Anyone who arrives at the Semi-Formal and is believed to be under the influence of alcohol, or other health harming substances, will be refused entry. Students will be randomly breathalysed.

• Bags and jackets will be checked upon entry. No bags are allowed in the Auditorium and will be kept in the Cloakroom under Supervision. We reserve the right to ask anyone attending to turn out pockets.

• Attendees are expected to remain at the venue for the duration of the event. If an attendee wishes to leave the event, a parent/caregiver will be contacted and asked to make appropriate arrangements for transport home. The parent/caregiver collecting the attendee(s) must report to a teacher or committee member or the Security staff. Once an attendee has left the event they will not be re-admitted at a later stage.

• Attendees must be in appropriate formal attire. Jeans are not permitted and footwear is compulsory.

• Entry to the venue will be between 7.30pm and 8.00pm. No entries after 8.15pm.

• The event finishes at 11pm, attendees should not be at the venue after 11.15pm.

• The law regarding after-ball functions is clear.

A delicious supper and non alcoholic drinks will be provided.

Please be assured this will be a well-supervised event.

We wish everyone a most enjoyable night.
