From the desk of Dr Rod Kefford...

Dear Head Masters / Principals,

I am pleased to provide this Letter of Introduction for Mr Elliot Kleiner and his firm, Prom Night Events, with whom Barker College has had a close association for the past three years. This year Prom Night will host our Year 10, Year 11 and Year 12 formals.

Mr Kleiner’s firm specialises in organising, arranging and providing a variety of social functions for young people of secondary school age, and has achieved an enviable reputation for the quality service he provides to students, parents and school communities alike. Moreover, he is the Event Organiser of Choice for Sydney’s leading city hotels and functions venues, many of which simply do not, as a matter of policy, host social events for school-aged students.

Barker’s experience in working with Mr Kleiner and his staff over the past three years enables us to state without reservation that:

Prom Night Events has a 10-year history of successful experience with the planning and execution of Formals for secondary-school-aged young people.

Prom Night Events in Barker’s experience are enjoyable and appropriately “glamorous” occasions for all those who attend. Mr Kleiner and his staff have a clear understanding of the expectations of school and school communities such as ours.

Prom Night Events has proven to us that it has effective and efficient systems for planning and running events such as these, and their staff members in each area of their organisation are appropriately trained and experienced.

Prom Night Events guarantees that its functions are conducted in full compliance with N.S.W. laws regarding Minors and Security. This includes protection against students bringing alcohol or other substances into the venue, as well as effectively and appropriately excluding uninvited people and preventing inappropriate or disruptive behaviour.

Prom Night Events provides Insurance Certification indicating up to $60,000,000.00 worth of comprehensive insurance cover on every event.

Prom Night Events special School Formal packages contain inclusions and features sought by young people these days, and yet in our experience they also offer best value for money relative to other providers, or even for school-initiated and school-managed functions.

An attractive feature of our relationship with Prom Night Events is their active involvement in fundraising for a wide variety of charity organisations. Prom Night seeks to promote the involvement of schools in those kinds of activities and supports Student Councils and leadership groups by rebating a percentage of profits back to schools for their own charity work.

Prom Night Events offers significant discounts for attending teachers, and Principals and their partners are invited to attend formals at no cost.

Our experience in working with Prom Night has been entirely satisfactory from every possible point of view. I would be happy to share details of our experience with you personally if you would like to speak to me about it.

With all good wishes

Yours sincerely

Roderic Kefford
Headmaster, Barker College Hornsby

Hey Helen!

Thank you so much for organising and MCing last night, everyone had an amazing time :) We really appreciate it!

Lots of love from the Year 10 Formal Committee - St George Girls High School

Hey Helen!

Rose Bay Secondary College

Hi Helen,

I would just like to extend a massive thank you to everyone at Prom Night Events, and especially your efforts, Helen, which culminated in a very memorable formal last Thursday night!

All the feedback that I have heard suggests that everyone enjoyed the evening, with some girls even noting they had more fun at our formal then their own one! The Shangri-La was truly a magnificent venue, and everyone loved the food, with the rib eye being noted most often! Everything that was present at the venue was of top notch quality, and personally I think the rose for each girl is a very lovely touch.

Once again, I’d like to thank you for your patience and commitment to our formal, made our lives much easier, and eliminated many potential problems!

Warm Regards,

Scott - North Sydney Boys High School, 2011

"Hi Helen

I was wanting to discuss with you the possibility of getting someone from Prom Nights to come out to our school to discuss with me and the other deputy and the principal the pros and cons of having prom Night do our year 10, 11 and 12 formals. I'm quite keen but the principal would like a full discussion with someone from your organisation."

Thanks for your generosity in supplying us with the discounted tickets and the 3 free ones for the staff, that is great! This is very much appreciated.

“Hi Elliot,

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for our lovely formal on Wednesday night. The kids loved it and had a fantastic time.

The venue was great and the DJ was outstanding and really made the night because he played all the right songs :) (Trust me ... we have had some terrible DJs in the past!!).

Your security team was highly professional and did a great job to make the kids feel secure and comfortable. They had a ball.

In a few weeks I need to start preparations and bookings for next year's formal as the kids have asked me to do it for them next year too so I will be in touch.

Thanks once again and I will be in touch soon...

Thanks,”

Kelly Hattersley, Teacher, Davidson High School

“Hi Elliot,

Wanted to Thank You for the excellent Yr 12 Formal. Your Mandy was amazing and the security too.

All the staff present were also very impressed with the service your company provided, including the Principal, and we have asked next Year's Yr 12 Year Adviser to go with you and she would be contacting you next year when she is ready.

Thanks again,”

Dr Krishnaveni Ganeson, Teacher, Asquith Girls High

Again, thank you."
