Welcome Dinner
2021 Term 1 Week 4

Friday 19 February 2021
5:00 - 9:00 pm, lower campus

Page updated 11 February 2020.

Historically, the Welcome Dinner is held on the Toowong State School upper (primary) campus. In 2021, construction of the Master Planning 3-story GL classroom building occupies the event space, so for the first time, the event will run on the lower campus, behind the Tennis courts and new (TOSHC) building.
