Years 11 & 12 Formal

The Rupert Clarke Grandstand at Caulfield Racecourse was transformed into a sea of glamour and high fashion last night as nearly 900 McKinnon students gathered for the much-anticipated Years 11/12 Formal. Held in the elegant Promenade Room on Level 2, the evening was a spectacular celebration of our senior school community.

From 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm, the room was buzzing with energy. This year’s cocktail-style event allowed students to mingle freely, catching up with friends across both year levels, making new friends across the cohorts, all the while enjoying a delicious variety of finger food served throughout the night.

The atmosphere was electric from the moment the first track dropped. Between strikes of a pose at the photo booths and the non-stop action on the dance floor, the sense of camaraderie was palpable. It was a wonderful opportunity for our seniors to take a well-deserved break from their studies, dress to the nines, and create memories to last.

A huge thank you to the staff who attended and the Year 11 and 12 student management teams who made such a large-scale event run so seamlessly. It was truly a night where our senior students shone!

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

Formal was a night to remember! 

We had a great experience at the Caulfield Racecourse venue, being the first year of McKinnon students having the formal there. Even though everyone was a bit hesitant about the joint Years 11 and 12 formal, it ended up being an amazing time and a great inter year level bonding experience. It was so exciting to see everyone dressed to the nines in their fancy dresses and suits. The DJ was pumping great tunes and everyone had fun on the dance floor. 

We are so grateful to all the teachers and Caulfield staff who helped organise the amazing night for us.
