Graduation Party Wollongong

Finishing school or a degree deserves more than dinner out, and the graduation parties that people remember tend to have one stand-out moment. In Wollongong the options lean towards three ideas: a fast afternoon on the track, a proper arrival for the big night, and turning a backyard into the party venue.

For the adrenaline option, Wollongong Kart Raceway at Kembla Grange runs party races for groups of five or more on an outdoor bitumen circuit, split into heats by qualifying time, from $59 per person. Drivers over 15 can step up to 2-stroke race kart sessions, which suits a group of school leavers. Karts run in the open air, rain or shine.

For the evening, Wollongong Limousine Services has been owner-operated since 1999 and drives weddings and formals, with Cadillac and Statesman stretches seating seven or nine and a minibus for groups of ten. It travels across every part of the Illawarra, from the northern suburbs to Kiama.

A home party needs good sound more than anything:

• Speakers and lights: Pro Sound and Lighting has ready-made party packages, from $125
• Effects: UV glow, haze, confetti and bubble machines
• Bigger crowds: technicians and delivery for larger events
• Setting up: delivery and operation can be arranged

Put the three together and a graduation day becomes a kart race in the afternoon, a limousine into town and a party at home that sounds like a club. Browse speaker hire or other go-karts options for the group.
