The event starts at 6 with a scrumptuous buffet dinner catered from Old Town Restaurant filled with yummy singaporean delicacies like Roti Chanai, Beef Rendang, Tandoori Chicken, Nasi Goreng, Mee Goreng amongst other Singaporean dishes.

Apart from the dinner, we’ll also be having life performances by our own talented students from across Melbourne singing various songs.

Throughout the night, we’ll be screening NDP live and having various quizzes and game shows with multiple attractive prizes to be won.
