Why a Ball?
Because we think you deserve some recognition and fun for all the work you do for the children, young people and adult learners of SA.
Our goal is to celebrate our profession, highlight the importance of educators, create a sense of fun and belonging, and reinforce that educators matter, all while raising funds for the amazing children’s charity—Operation Flinders Foundation.
Feast on a delicious 3 course dinner and 5 hour drinks package and enjoy fantastic entertainment!
Why not celebrate with your colleagues, family and friends through a group booking? Perhaps book a table or two for your school, preschool or workplace.
Have a great night out, be proud to be an educator and raise money for a great children’s charity all in one night.
