Lynfield College Senior School Ball
2020 is an unprecedented year. COVID-19 has affected students, staff and their families with school and community events being rescheduled, redesigned or, in some unfortunate cases, cancelled.
The rescheduled date for our 2020 Lynfield College School Ball was Monday 28 September. We were very hopeful that this event would be able to process as it is a significant event on the College calendar and an evening all our senior students enjoy.
With Auckland currently being at Alert Level 2.5, and only able to hold gatherings of up to 10, there is considerable uncertainty about whether we will be back at Alert Level 1 in time, a requirement for an event for up to 400 students, including outside partners, to proceed.
Therefore it is with great sadness that our Year 12 and 13 students have been advised this event has been cancelled for 2020.
This will be understandable upsetting, particularly for our Year 13 students. As a consequence we will be working with our Year 13 students in support of creating a modified Leavers’ Dinner to end the year with a positive event.
As always the safety and wellbeing of our students is paramount.
