Dance
Tentative Dates:
Secondary Schools – Monday, August 25th

Adjudicator: TBA
To streamline the school dance primary days changes have been implemented.
- In the case of more than one day of performances, to avoid overcrowding in the auditorium, two days will be set aside for the Primary Dance Groups.
- Each school will be timetabled on one of the days only – not both.
- We intend to have each day completed by 1.30pm to provide certainty for buses returning children to school.
- Please indicate estimated number in each group on the entry form.
- For multiple entries enter under your schools name and label A, B, C etc. eg North Public School ‘A’.
