School Formal Venues in Cammeray

Choosing the Right School Formal Venue

A formal committee needs a room that can seat a whole year group, feed them, then hand over to a DJ. Upstairs at Norths Cammeray on Abbott Street, the Auditorium is built for that scale.

The Auditorium, set up for a formal:

Banquet dinner: tables for 420, or 430 laid out for show dining.
Dancing: a dance floor with a professional stage beside it for a band or DJ.
Year in review: two projector screens for the photo montage.
Behind the scenes: artist rooms where performers can get ready.
Before dinner: up to 500 in a cocktail or theatre layout for mingling or a presentation.

Sound and lighting are charged by the hour, and room hire applies, so ask the events team to quote the whole evening from arrivals to the last song.

Every room at the club has disabled access, making things simpler for students and staff alike.
A dedicated events team plans the night with the formal committee.
Smaller schools can look at the Lounge, which seats 80 café-style.
Wi-Fi covers the rooms for music and presentation cues.

Menus for a year group

Plated menus suit a traditional sit-down formal.
Canapés, from $42 per person, work for pre-dinner arrivals.
Mediterranean grazing with pizza platters suits a more casual format.
