A Night Under The Stars

The 25th anniversary celebrations for a local Prep to Year 12 school were a roaring success on Friday night as the community turned up in droves to enjoy ‘A Night Under the Stars'.

Whitsunday Christian College was lit up with festoon lights and an ‘Eat Street’ vibe, as families and locals weaved their way through the College enjoying the delicacies of the food vans and playing the “Old School” sideshow amusement stands run by teachers and students.

The event was the perfect opportunity for the College to “honour the past, celebrate the present, and look towards the future” and the night exceeded the Principal, Kylie Langshore’s expectations as hundreds attended the packed event.

Families enjoyed the petting zoo, face painting, inflatables zones, music and dance performances by students. The ‘Star Gazers Lucky Stars Competition’ sent kids searching through the school for six Lucky Stars to go into the draw to win a Nintendo Switch Lite.

“The best part of the night was seeing the Whitsunday community all come together to celebrate with us and experience what our College has to offer,” Mrs Langshore said.

“It was a fantastic way to celebrate who we are, what we do and why we do it. The event was a credit to everyone who came together as one to make it a night to remember. It is a wonderful show of community spirit and we are excited to see what the future holds with this much community support. We thank the Lord for his continued provision as we see to educate for eternity, equip for life.”

Mrs Langshore said the school is planning to make this an annual event thanks to the overwhelming feedback and support they received from local families.

Whitsunday Christian College hosted an exceptional 25th anniversary community event last Friday which was led by students who hosted stalls and gave performances
