Planning a Geelong School Formal

A school formal around Corio Bay is a big organising job for a committee, the school and parents. The room sets the tone, but supervision, transport and photos take just as much planning.

Weekend dates are the first to go, so confirm numbers and a date early. Parents will also want to know the finish time, the pick-up arrangements and who is supervising before they sign off on tickets.

What to weigh up in a formal venue:

Room size: a heritage building in Geelong West has three rooms taking 100 to 300 guests, from $35 per person.
Food: a seated dinner or roaming food, with options for allergies and dietary needs.
Music: a DJ or band, and the venue's rules on volume and finish time.
Supervision: staff, teachers and security arranged in line with school policy.
Arrivals: ask whether there is a spot near the entrance for arrival photos.

Compare school formal venues, add a photo booth and look at party buses for getting students there and home.

A coach or party bus keeps groups together and takes pressure off parents.
Chauffeured cars are a popular arrival option for small groups.
Agree pick-up times with parents and the school.

Committee checklist

Confirm numbers, ticket price and what it includes.

Check the venue's rules on decorations and set-up time.
Plan for accessibility and dietary needs.
