Forget Schoolies celebrations, Smoothfm’s Mike Perso and Jennifer Hansen are throwing an end of VCE exam party with a difference, inviting fellow stressed-out parents to come party at the Intercontinental Melbourne The Rialto, for ‘Parenties’.

Students have ‘schoolies’ to let down their hair after their final exams and now smoothfm 91.5 will support their long suffering parents. ‘Parenties’ will be held on Wednesday 18 November.

Mike and Jen know first-hand the stress of supporting VCE students, as both have sons completing their final year, so they decided to throw a party to allow parents to share their stories and celebrate.

One lucky couple on the night will win a six day escape to India’s Golden Triangle including the Taj Mahal.

Mike said:

“The kids get to let their hair down with Schoolies but we thought the mums and dads deserved a chance to celebrate too!” 

Jennifer said:

“It’s going to be a great evening because we’re survivors of the VCE year just like our kids. To celebrate with other mums and dads who are also survivors will make it all the more special because we share that common bond. It will be a big Woo” 

The first winner was drawn on-air today on the smoothfm breakfast, with further winners announced over the next two weeks. Parents can enter through www.smoothfm.com.au.
