The parents and friends association of Oakleigh Greek Orthodox College will be hosting their annual college ball on Saturday 3 September. This annual event gives the parents and friends a chance to let their hair down. The aim of the parents and friends association is simple – to raise as much money as possible to assist the college to help our children and help grow the college’s resources.
The association has already raised much necessary funds for the college. In 2009, the association raised over $23,000, enabling the college to install air conditioning units through out the college. Last year they raised over $36,000, helping the college purchase over 53 new computers in the primary school. At this year’s event, the association aims to raise more money and welcome more members of the Greek community to the event.
The funds raised this year will go towards electronic boards, stadium seating for the gymnasium and upgrading the science laboratories within the junior and senior schools. At the ball, guests will enjoy a five course meal from the award winning reception centre Grand Star Receptions (Corner Grieve Parade and Dohertys Road, Altona North).
Entertainment will be provided by the college’s dance groups, live music Alpha band, Periklis from Fame Story will be performing and the college’s own year 11 student DJ Michael T will play some of the latest top 40 English hits. The event will cost $75 per adult, $55 per secondary student / seniors and $35 per child (under 12 years old).
