PTA Outdoor Movie Nights at the Botanical Gardens (Old Provost)
On Friday, 25 October we will be showing the movie Inside Out 2 for the IP girls and on Friday, 1 November we will be showing the movie Abominable for the PP & FP girls. Tickets will cost R40 for children and R60 for adults and will be sold from the school office prior to the show. Each show has limited space so please buy now to avoid disappointment. Children must be accompanied by an adult for supervision.
The show starts at 18:15 and from 17:00 and throughout the show, we will have a tuckshop and popcorn stand available. For hot drinks and hot food, the Provost Coffee Shop (LA Cafe) will be open too. Prior to the show, from 17:00-18:00, we will have a jumping castle for the children to have some fun, for R5 for 5 minutes. Please support our stalls and bring cash. Please bring your own blankets and pillows. No alcohol is permitted. Tickets are still available.
Thank you for the donations and volunteers for help already received. We are still in need of more donations of popcorn kernels, sunflower oil and salt. Please drop these items off at the office.
Prior to the movie starting, businesses will have an opportunity to advertise on the big screen at a cost of only R500 for both nights. If you would like to have your business advertised (or know about a business who might wish to advertise) please enquire at the school office or email the office at admin@victoriaprimary.co.za
We are certain this will make for a wonderful family evening out under the stars!!
