Why Every School Graduation Needs a Photo Booth (Melbourne Edition)
Caps off, cameras on. Graduation is more than a ceremony—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime milestone for students, families and teachers. A great photo booth turns that big day into a stream of keepsakes, laughter and shareable moments your school community will talk about for years.
TL;DR — 5 reasons it’s a must-have
Instant memories for everyone – Unlimited sessions and prints mean no one misses out.
Crowd energy + zero downtime – Keeps guests engaged before/after the ceremony and between formalities.
School branding, done properly – Your crest, colours and class year on every strip/video overlay.
Works in school halls + gyms – Compact footprint, simple power, fast setup.
Parents love take-home prints – Frame-worthy mementos that last longer than a Story.
What grads (and parents) actually want
Unlimited sessions + instant prints so friendship groups can rotate through all night.
A good-looking setup (backdrop + lighting that suits your hall/gym).
A custom template: school crest, colours, class year, event name.
An online gallery for post-event downloads and sharing.
Pixel Booth packages include unlimited sessions/prints, custom template, props and an online gallery. See our packages: /photobooth-hire-in-melbourne
When to run the booth at a graduation
Pre-ceremony: arrivals & gown photos—perfect warm-up.
Post-ceremony: the peak rush—most smiles, most group shots.
Reception (if applicable): steady flow while formalities run.
Tip: Put the booth near but not in a bottleneck; leave ~2.5m × 2.5m clear.
Space, power & setup for school venues
Open-air/enclosed booths: ~2.5m × 2.5m + one standard power point.
360 video booth: ~3.5m diameter clear; best with a darker space and feature lighting.
Access: Let us know about stairs, lifts, loading docks and curfews—we’ll plan accordingly.
Safety: We’re fully insured and provide risk assessments on request.
Branding that feels like your school
Every print (or 360 overlay) can carry your crest, colours, motto and class year. We’ll match fonts and offer a quick proof so the design feels official, not generic. For ticketed events, we can add a QR code that links to the gallery or yearbook page.
Photo Booth vs 360 Video Booth—what’s right for grads?
Photo booth (open-air or enclosed): Best value per hour, effortless group shots, instant prints + digital.
360 video booth: Higher wow-factor videos for socials, more space + lighting needed, attendant-led flow.
If you’re after maximum throughput for a big cohort, go open-air. If the brief is “make it viral”, consider 360.
