Whitsunday Christian College, a local Prep – Year 12 school is inviting the community along to celebrate its 25th anniversary in late August with ‘A Night Under the Stars’ event.
Whitsunday Christian College will open its doors on Friday, August 26, bringing together families and the wider community to enjoy an event where music, market stalls, Eat Street, fireworks and a movie under the stars will celebrate the school’s special anniversary.
“We would like to use this special event to open up the College and connect with the local community, offering a family experience” Whitsunday Christian College Principal Kylie Langshore said.
A Night Under the Stars will be held across the campus and invite families to weave through the school both geographically and interactively, enticing people to explore the grounds and meet the school community.
A petting zoo, inflatables zone, an art exhibition, book fair, and sideshow amusements will be spread out across the campus, lit by festoon lighting to capture the Eat Street atmosphere.
The event will also see students hosting fete and market stalls, and even performing on the big stage. Iterations of songs like Wherever I Go, Wakka Wakka, and Footloose, will be performed by classes from Prep up to Year 12.
Stalls developed and run by staff and students will include games like Pie Face, Chocolate Bed, The REEL Deal, Balloon Darts and even a Donut Bake Sale.
To showcase the night theme, families will be given the opportunity to enter the ‘Star Gazers Lucky Stars Competition’ where they will need to find and collect stars from around the College to go into the draw to win a Nintendo Switch Lite.
“The whole concept of building community is important to us, and that’s what we want to achieve with this event. Come by, stick around, enjoy some fun, have a meal, watch a movie, and enjoy the winter weather.
“We’re honouring the past, celebrating the present and looking towards the future with this community event.”
Starting at 4.00pm, A Night Under the Stars will run until 8.30pm, with food stalls, sideshow amusements, fireworks, and will conclude with a movie from 8.30pm – 10pm.
