Additional Health and Safety Information
School bags
For all concerts, there is limited space to store student school bags within The Pavilion. School bags are NOT to be left in the foyer area of The Pavilion at any time as this is a public space. It is recommended that dance costumes/accessories be brought in a large plastic tub with a lid, clearly labelled with your school name, so that students need only bring a small bag with their lunch and drink.
Footwear
Unless performing, students should wear suitable footwear at all times in The Pavilion.
Supervision
The DoE requires that teachers and staff demonstrate a duty of care to students on excursions. This includes a teacher/ student ratio of at least one teacher per 30 students.
Item students MUST be supervised at all times during the dress rehearsal and the evening concert. If a dance/band teacher who trains the students is not a DoE teacher, the school must make arrangements for a regular teacher from that school to supervise that group.
NB The supervising DoE teacher(s) must remain on the premises for all rehearsals and the entire evening performance in case of an emergency.
Under no circumstances are students to change in or out of costumes in the corridors of The Pavilion. We do not have exclusive use of the Pavilion and there may be members of the public sharing some facilities, including bathrooms.
