Organisers of the annual Gulf Harbour Primary School gala have come up with a spine-tingling theme this year.
The Spooky Gala will be held on Saturday October 28 complete with a haunted house, costume parade, giant lolly scramble and zombie survival course.
PTA member Miriam Davis says the event will provide a safe environment for children to participate in the fun side of Halloween.
Money raised will go towards the school hall building project.
“The PTA hopes to raise $50,000 for the hall this year, in the hope that we might see building start in 2019. The cost will be $1.3 million so we hope to make as much as possible from the gala to put towards the build.”
The school currently caters for around 500 students and will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year.
“Enrolment grew by 25 per cent last year so the need for the hall is becoming ever more critical.
“Students currently have to use the Wentworth School auditorium for performances and the lack of a hall is limiting learning outcomes. It also means we have nowhere to hold assemblies when it’s wet.”
Special guests at the gala will be Royal New Zealand Navy personnel who bring a display boat and combat crew. The RNZ Band will also be performing.
Other entertainment will include a one-hour concert by an INXS tribute band and a display by the Manly Volunteer Fire Brigade.
The gala will run from 11am to 4pm. All welcome.
