On Friday, 1st of September, the first ever Secondary Girls’ Night took place in the auditorium at 911±¬ÁÏÍø from 5pm to 7pm. This event was organised by the Senior girls of the Event Management Club throughout Term 3.
There were about 120 girls from Year 7 to Year 12 present at the sold out event. It was an entertaining night for all the Secondary girls to have fun and hang out. First, the Girls’ College Captain Zainab gave a speech welcoming everyone, followed by the opening Quran recitation. Ms Gulhan did the Acknowledgement of Country and thanked all the sponsors. Next, Ms Safiye directed a Talent Show where a few groups of girls came up to the stage to sing or tell jokes. Afterwards, the audience chose a winning group. Next, we prayed and then had a delicious buffet dinner, followed by a dessert buffet. Concluding, we had a panel of a few VCE Year 11 and 12 girls answering questions asked by the other grades. By and large, this was an incredibly memorable and fun night.
Additionally, Special Thanks goes to:
- The State Government of Victoria for funding this Victorian Youth Fest event
- Victorian Police for supporting the event
- JoJayz Café for sponsoring and supplying the deserts
