“Our goal is to conduct a year 10 & 11 masquerade formal for East Loddon and district schools”. The aim is to get students together to have a fun time and meet new people. We hope to get as many participants from across the Loddon shire, as we possibly can, to have a good night and maybe set a precedent for another formal next year. GOAL STATEMENT Our Logo

MEDIA / PROMOTION To promote our event we visited schools such as, Wedderburn and Pyramid Hill Colleges, to extend personal invitations to students. We also provided flyers, acceptance cards and invitations to each group and put a display in our school news letter.

CLASS TIME ACTIVITIES Our extensive planning sessions quickly progressed to one to one discussions with stakeholders. Phone calls and negotiations about dates, venues and organisational details, meant we had lots of practice at communicating with a wide range of individuals. Negotiating funding for buses and professional services including DJ’s and Security guards, occurred during 3 meetings with Tony ( from the Loddon Shire). Making flyers, invitations and acceptance cards, was delegated to the artistically talented members of our group and we were very pleased with their productions.

STAKEHOLDER CHARTS Who will be affected by the project? What do they want to happen? (expectations) What will success look like? (to each stakeholder) Students from around the community : Meet & interact with peers from other schools. Have a great and enjoyable night. Community: Make the formal a high class, safe and positive function. Start of something new, which might run every year. Our group organizing it: Students have a fun night, run smoothly and we start something new. Students have a fun night, & going home wanting more. Below is a sample of charts we formulated to determine needs & outcomes for all groups affected by our project.

PROGRESS REPORTS During the projects planning phases, we completed two “Progress Reports” The result of these evaluations and feedback from group members showed that we need to have copies of the notes for each member, encourage all the members to express their ideas freely and make sure we give the members individual tasks to do so that they all feel included.

COMMUNITY ‘MAKING A DIFFERENCE’ Our formal involved not just our school, but all other schools throughout the Loddon and Buloke shire. Family members from our local district helped cater for the event. Teachers and Parents helped out to run the canteen for the night. We all met new people and made new friends, the night was great and helped bring everyone together.

END RESULT The end result of the evening was a successful event,. Numbers were a little less than we hoped, but the dance floor was full and every one that attended had a good night There was lots of food and the music was great. The DJ had new and old types of music for every one and the sounds and lights were excellent. There was even a smoke machine. Every one got up and danced, and all dressed up and looked great. There were some very interesting masks and we had fun little activity's during the night to break up all the dancing. We hope that every one had that much of a good of a time that the next Advance class will continue with the formal idea and make it even more of a success

THANK YOU We would like to give a big thankyou for the help from Tony, Mr Clyne, Miss Byrne, Miss T & Mrs Pilling. “You believed in us & gave us the opportunity to shine”
