What's included in the ticket price?

Everything apart from your outfit and transport! All food, wine, beer, soft drinks and entertainment are included.

Is it a sit-down dinner?

There will be places to sit, but it isn't a sit-down dinner.

The food service will be roaming, allowing all guests to mingle and chat, enjoying the atmosphere and company well beyond the radius of a ten-person table.

What's planned for the entertainment?

Live bands, soloists, a DJ and at least one surprise are all on the cards to keep the crowd entertained. There might be a little speechifying, but we will keep it to a minimum.

Where is it going to be held at the school?

Large parts of the night will be held in our beautiful outdoor surrounds. There will be plenty of heating and warm spots indoors, too!

Where do I park?

In keeping with the school's pioneering 70s spirit, we are planning something of a progressive dinner, moving through a couple of different spaces throughout the school. The parking, therefore, will be near Cruden Oval and the Science Building.

What if the weather is bad?

Please don't jinx us! If the weather is poor, we have plenty of indoor options and contingency plans in place. Book with confidence!

Can I wear heels?

High heels/stilettos are probably not a good idea. Because it's being held at Woodleigh's Senior Campus, you will encounter gravel, rock steps, and grassed areas. Best to choose a wedge heel or flats.

Who can I bring?

Bring whoever you want to bring, with the exception of current students. The more the merrier!

Ten years ago, we celebrated the Big 4-0 in style. Now, in 2025, let's turn it on for our Golden Years.
