WHAT HAPPENS ON THE DAY ?

Children will arrive at school at the normal time.

They will be required to wear their sports uniform with their Wakakirri team shirt.

They will need to bring a backpack that contains the following items:

• A hairbrush
• Own mascara
• Drinks (enough for the whole day) fizzy drinks, glass bottles and cans are not permitted. We strongly recommend water and fruit drinks such as Primas.
• Dinner (once again, we suggest healthy food options, lunch will be provided by the school)
• Snacks for the day
• A book to read
• Shoes (if required for costume)

Please make sure all of your child’s belongings are clearly labelled.

Cameras, iPods, iPads, phones and other electronics are not permitted as they cannot be secured during the day. A staff member will be taking photos all day and a professional photographer (hired by Wakakirri) will be taking photos of the children in full costume and makeup. Parents will be able to access our photos at a later stage.

We will have a snack here at school then depart for the Clocktower around 10.00 am.

Upon arrival, we will be shown our dressing room and the children will be taken through all of the safety procedures for the day.

At 12.30pm we have a dress rehearsal onstage. We are given the opportunity to run through our performance twice. There is a judge present at the dress rehearsal.

After this, we will start hair and makeup.

Dinner will be about 5pm and will be a small snack.

By 6.15pm we will be in full costume ready for the night’s performance. Professional photos will be taken at this stage. The order of performance will be announced at this time.

The performance will begin at 7.00 pm. Some awards are presented on the night. However, we will not know if we’ve made it into the finals until all of the heats are finished. If we are moving on to the next level, we will be notified in several weeks’ time.

Approximately 9.15 pm pick up from the venue.
