End of Year Concert Information

Dear Parents and Families, 

The end of the school year is fast approaching and we are preparing for our annual End of Year Concert.
This year, the concert will be held on the evening of Wednesday 7th December on the school oval. It is always a memorable evening with each year group performing an item, the presentation of class LEAF awards and a celebration of a successful school year. The evening will begin at 5.30pm and should finish by approximately 7.30pm. 

The theme of the concert this year is 'AGPS: At the Movies'. All K-6 students have been rehearsing and preparing for the night and I know they can't wait to perform for you all!

On the night we will have the parent spectator area roped off into two sections:

1. The first section will be for blankets and people sitting on the ground.

2. The second area behind the blanket area will be for fold out chairs and people standing up.

We hope that by doing this, everyone can get a good view and enjoy the night.

Please note the following important details:

• This year we have over 1100 students participating in the End of Year Concert which makes it a huge logistical event to plan and run on the night. The movement and transitions of such a large number of students is difficult to manage and must take precedence.
• Students need to be dropped off in costume at their classroom at 5.00pm so that teachers can walk students down to the oval and get everyone into position for a prompt 5.30pm start. The area for the students will be roped off and only school staff will be permitted to enter this area.
• Immediately after the Kindergarten and PP students have performed, parents will be asked to collect their children from teachers. 
• At the conclusion of the evening all Year 1-6 students will return to classrooms with teachers and then be released to parents. 
• I ask that all parents remember that it is the children and their needs that are our first priority. We will do our best to cater for the needs of the parents too.
• I urge parents to get into the Christmas spirit and the feel of a 'kid friendly' event by being considerate to everyone else when locating their chairs, taking photos and standing up. 

As this is a school concert with children attending, please remember that the concert is an alcohol free event.

Finally, when parking your car please stay away from local residents' driveways. In the past, people attending our events such as the Christmas Concert and Open Night have parked in driveways blocking in the owner so that they are unable to leave their own house by car. 

The City of Cockburn Ranger is aware of our Christmas Concert and will be present. Please don't risk a fine by parking in the wrong place.

We look forward to seeing you all there!

Kind regards

Frank Pansini
