Here are the answers to your questions!

How many sessions of the Concerts are there? 

    1. There are 3 sessions of each concert – 1 session during school hours and 2 sessions after school hours. The 3 sessions are all the same. The reason we have 3 sessions is to give families a number of opportunities to see their children perform and also because of the limited capacity of our gymnasium (700 seats only)
    2. Students will perform a song and dance routine with their class
    3. Students will perform the same routine in each of the 3 sessions so it doesn’t matter which session you choose to attend – the Concert Program is included below

When are the sessions for Concert (A)?

    1. Session 1: Tuesday 12th September at 10.00am – Free Matinee
    2. Session 2: Wednesday 13th September at 3.30pm – $10 per ticket (no child discounts, infants under 2 who are sitting on your lap will not require a ticket)
    3. Session 3: Wednesday 13th September at 6.30pm – $10 per ticket (no child discounts, infants under 2 who are sitting on your lap will not require a ticket)

When are the sessions for Concert (B)?

    1. Session 1: Tuesday 12th September at 1.00pm – Free Matinee
    2. Session 2: Thursday 14th September at 3.30pm – Free (because you have already paid for Concert (A). Also, infants under 2 who are sitting on your lap will not require a ticket)
    3. Session 3: Thursday 14th September at 6.30pm – Free (because you have already paid for Concert (A). Also, infants under 2 who are sitting on your lap will not require a ticket)

Where are Concerts being held?

    1. In the new gymnasium

Which sessions should we go to?

    1. You decide which session(s) works best for you and your family (grandparents, extended family and friends are welcome and can be included in your booking)

Can we go to more than one session?

    1. Yes – but the number of tickets is limited per family

I am going to a 3.30pm session – when should I arrive?

    1. Due to the congestion of traffic in the afternoon please arrive by 3.00pm ready to line up and be seated to ensure the concert commences on time at 3.30pm (please have your tickets ready)
    2. Entry will be via the Parish car park. Seating is first come, first served
    3. Please be mindful that students from the other concert will be collected as per normal at 3.20pm and that car parking may be limited close by

I am going to a 6.30pm session – when should I arrive?

    1. In order to allow time for the 3.30pm session attendees to leave (at 5.30pm), please arrive at 6.00pm ready to line up and be seated to ensure the concert commences on time at 6.30pm (please have your tickets ready)
    2. Entry will be via the Parish car park. Seating is first come, first served

How many tickets can we buy?

    1. You can buy up to 12 tickets to each matinee on Tuesday
    2. Your family is entitled to a total of 6 paid tickets to Concert (A) and up to 6 free tickets to Concert (B)
    3. Your 6 tickets can be split across Session 1 and Session 2 if need be (for example: you could buy up to 6 tickets to one of the sessions or, if not everyone can attend at the same time, you could perhaps buy 4 tickets to the 3.30pm session and 2 tickets to the 6.30pm session, just so long as the total tickets purchased does not exceed 6)
    4. Your children who are NOT performing on a given night will require a ticket if they are going to attend their sibling’s concert, so please include them in your ticket numbers
    5. An extra 6 tickets per family were allocated on 7th September

How do we get tickets?

    1. Tickets are being sold on the Eventbrite ticket website
