Events

At Verona, our events are more than just celebrations — they are opportunities to bring our students, families, staff, and community together. Whether it’s Verona Day, Book Week, NAIDOC celebrations, or our wellbeing initiatives, each event strengthens the connections that make our school special.

These gatherings allow us to recognise achievements, share culture, promote inclusion, and celebrate growth. They remind us that learning doesn’t only happen in classrooms — it happens when we come together as a community, support one another, and create lasting memories.
