The Stranger Things Senior Dance Group will be rehearsing & performing at the Hawkesbury Performing Arts Festival at Windsor High School, Mulgrave on Monday 28 July 2025. Tickets will be available to purchase online through Eventbrite and the link will be emailed to you from the Hawkesbury Performing Arts Festival. Initially only one ticket will be available per performer and they will be $12 per ticket. If you have siblings in the dance group, you will be able to purchase two tickets. If additional tickets become available they will be offered to our school. Please email the office if you would like to go on a waiting list for any additional tickets. During the day the students will attend a dress rehearsal then in the evening they will be performing at the festival with other primary and high schools from the Hawkesbury area. We will be travelling to and from the rehearsal by bus with the junior dance group. As previously advised, due to the reduced dance participation cost this year, transport costs will be an additional cost for each dance event. The cost of transport is $10. We ask that the students be at school by 8:30am to prepare for the dress rehearsal, as we will be leaving the school at 11:00am. The dancers must come to school for the rehersal wearing their school shirt, school jacket, black or navy long tights for the girls, and black or navy track pants for the boys. Please ensure the students bring their dance shoes, recess, lunch, snacks and enough drinking water for the rehersal. The students will be returning to school by 1:30pm. Students may be picked up at 1:30pm after being signed out to enable them to go home and shower. Students then return to school at 2:45pm to prepare for the evening performance. For the evening performance they are to come to school wearing foundation, the remainder of their makeup will be done at school. Students are to wear comfortable clothes with shoes, socks and a jacket (not a jumper) so it can be worn over the costume. Students are then required to be picked up from school at 4:30pm & transported to Windsor High School for the evening performance. Please note that staff are not able to assist with transport of students to evening performances. The festival begins at 5:30pm. If your child requires medication, please send it in an envelope labelled with name, class, reason for and name of medication, dosage and time required, which should be handed to the attending teacher on the day.
