Blacktown School Formal Venues, Compared

Choosing the Right School Formal Venue

A whole year group, teachers keeping watch and a photo montage on the screens: The Pavilion @ Club Blacktown, up on the club's Level 1 at 40 Second Avenue, is an indoor-outdoor room of 340 square metres that the club quotes at up to 170 guests.

That figure is based on theatre seating, so a seated dinner for a year group takes fewer, and the functions team helps work out the layout.

How The Pavilion lines up for a formal:

  • Arrivals: Blacktown railway station is roughly five minutes away on foot, useful for students and for parents dropping off.
  • Look: exposed brick, timber beams and a wall of windows, overlooking the club's alfresco dining area.
  • Screens: two large-screen TVs and current audio-visual gear for the slideshow and speeches.
  • Dinner: catering from the club's own restaurants, either Italian and Mediterranean or Cantonese with dim sum.
  • Bigger cohorts: the club also has a Level 3 room for up to 500 and several smaller rooms.

The room has its own private bar, so formal committees should confirm with the functions team how service will be handled for students under 18. Packages and prices are sent on request.

Planning with the school

  • Ask for a floor plan that works for the meal and for later in the evening, since capacity depends on the layout chosen.
  • Count teachers and supervising staff in the headcount when comparing layouts.
  • The Italian restaurant can work around dietary needs, which helps with allergies across a year group.
  • The functions team helps with menus, room layout and the running of the night.

On the night itself

  • Share the date and estimated numbers early, since packages are quoted rather than published.
  • The two screens can loop a photo montage through dinner, then carry the speeches.
  • The brick and timber interior gives a backdrop for group photos.
  • Parents collecting students can meet at the club, a short walk from the station.
