Alphington Grammar celebrated its 35th anniversary with Twilight Family Festival, drawing over 2500 attendees from the school and local community, last Friday.
The festival transformed the school grounds into a vibrant carnival of lights, rides, and cultural performances showcasing the school’s multicultural ethos, with a diverse range of food stalls offering souvlakia, loukoumades, burgers, Vietnamese street food, and more.
Attendees were also treated to a variety of activities, including dodgem cars, a petting zoo, and mask-making in between student performances, DJ sets by Thomas Nico, and guest alumni appearances.
Volunteers, including staff, parents, and older students, worked tirelessly at stalls and attractions, adding to the festive atmosphere.
The stage was alive with Greek and Latin bands, drumline performances, and dancers with a fireworks display at the end of the festival.
A highlight of the evening was the official Opening Ceremony, which featured a Welcome to Country smoking ceremony led by local Aboriginal Elder, Uncle Yarra.
Dr. Vivianne Nikou, Principal of Alphington Grammar, expressed gratitude to the school and wider community for their support, noting the event’s success in showcasing the school’s journey and values.
An Open Day is scheduled for Saturday, March 16 from 10am to 1pm. For more visit alphington.vic.edu.au
