College Formal Dinners

The Principal hosts regular formal dinners, which occur 3-4 times per term. These are special events at which students have a 3-course meal served to their table; accompanied by wine which can be pre-ordered from the bar; and which often includes post-dinner entertainment. Dress code is either lounge suit or black tie, depending on the event.  Other guests include college staff including the Vice Principal/Senior Tutor, members of the SCR, college mentors and people from the University and wider community.  It's a great opportunity to feel involved in college life whether you live in or live out and an opportunity to be part of a community.
