Have fun!

I disagree... half-up half-down hairstyles can look really inappropriate sometimes, such as with a really really formal dress, or if the dress has a really detailed back (and ESPECIALLY if the detail on the back starts from the neck). In cases like these it's almost mandatory to have a full up-do.
Most cocktail-y dresses look good with half-up/half-down hair though, if not all out. The one thing I would advise is that you try to avoid the lots-of-tight-curls breadbun look on the head... everyone does it, and it's getting a bit naff IMO. Maybe do something with looser curls, or just have a few strands pinned back off the face? For my Yr 12 formal I had a side part, and I pulled the front bits back and secured it with a nice flower clip
You could also use a diamonte clip though.
All this aside, we're all sort of fishing around in the dark for suggestions without knowing what the dress looks like :/
