THINGS TO TAKE NOTE OF:
- We are expecting that all children and their families will be attending and staying for the whole concert, however if you know that you will be away or unable to be there, it is VERY IMPORTANT to let us know well before the concert, for planning purposes and as a courtesy to staff organisers.
- Parking is always at a premium at events such as this one – please share cars and lifts where you can, walk if you can and please be VERY considerate when parking (especially in regard to neighbours)-
- Please do not park in Church Car park area as there is Mass on at 6pm
- The concert is to be held on the big oval with school aged children from Year 1-6 sitting with staff at the front of the stage area until the end of the concert.
- Kindy and PP children will sit with their teachers until their item concludes. Once they have presented their item they will return to their classrooms to be collected by their parents. After this they can sit with parents, however all children are to be very well supervised by parents and consideration for others throughout the concert is of paramount importance.
- It will be best to try and arrive by 4.15pm, get a picnic spot and some food for the children, take them to teachers at 5pm, then adults can go and get some food.
- Any rubbish generated by your family is to be bagged and taken home.
- Families are reminded to model consideration, respect and good listening courtesies as children are performing.
- Some parts of the concert are loud and fun, other parts are quiet and reflective – please come ready to ‘add’ to the experience by clapping loudly and by talking softly.
- As one of the last whole school opportunities for being together, we hope the night will be fun, meaningful and memorable for all.
Looking forward to seeing you there everyone!
Kind regards, St Emilie’s Staff
