Try and wear all black, that way you will not stand out and allow the children to take the limelight!

Certainly, and it doesn't have to be the person who normally comes to class to assist. If you are planning for someone else to assist on the day then we strongly encourage them to come along to a few classes to get the hang of it, so you can support your child properly on the day!

The Presentation Day Fee is $70 per child for 'Mummy & Me' and 'Tots'  classes and $85 for 'Next Steps' classes.

The price for Aspirant classes will be different for each class as costumes and the cost of the external assessor will differ between classes and some students may already have part of the costume from last year. If you have a child in one of our Aspirants classes, we will be in touch directly with specific details.

The Presentation Day Fee is charged along with Term 4 fees, so it will be included with your Term 4 invoice.

The best thing to do is to pay the Presentation Day Fee along with your Term 4 fees, then see how you go in the lead-up to Presentation Day.

If your child does not wish to attend then you can still drop by to pick-up the costume and medal at no extra cost or we can post it out to you within a couple of weeks (please allow $14.95 for postage and handling)

Please contact us as soon as possible and we will make a note in your record and have the fee taken off your invoice. Please note that if you later change your mind and decide to go ahead with Presentation Day, there will be an  additional fee of $16.95 to cover the changes to invoicing and having the extra costume and medal packaged and sent out to the teacher. We do not guarantee your place if you do change your mind as we might not have a costume and medal or cannot get it to the teacher in time. We also cannot accept any last minute changes so please let us know at least two weeks before your scheduled Presentation Day class.

We purchase costumes in 5 different sizes. We select a style (and quality) of costume which achieves a good fit on children of varying sizes and shapes. We ask all teachers to categorize each of their students so we can allocate costumes of different sizes. We supply extra costumes to allow for surprises. We have done this successfully for nearly 70,000 students over past 19 years and are getting better at it every year.

You will be given your costume when you arrive at the venue on Presentation Day - all you need to do is put it on. The teacher will have some spares just in case there are any issues with the size.

Only if you are not doing Presentation Day and have made arrangements as such.

Yes, you sure do!

You can never have enough dress-ups! Many students wear their Presentation Day costumes to class throughout the following year. If you really don't want it, you can return it to your teacher and we will make sure it is given to someone in need this Christmas.  
We send the used costumes on to a charitable organization (such as the "Connections -  Christmas Food and Gift Appeal", which is a part of Uniting care), who can get them to children in need.

Yes, if you know beforehand that you won't be able to attend then you might be able to pick them up from the teacher the week before, in which case you can arrange directly with your teacher.

If it's a last minute situation (ie. sickness) then please drop in to the class and pick-up on the day - that way your child still gets their costume and medal on the day!

If you cannot do either of these then we can post them out to you, please allow $14.95 for postage and handling.

Most likely, it will depend on what we have left after all of the Presentation Day performances are finished. Please contact our office or visit our Online Store.

No, the costumes are different for each group, each year, so your child would be the only one in a different costume.

You must wear the costume we provide. It is a group performance and to appear as part of the group (and feel part of the group) we need you in the specific costume we provide.

We allow for 4* audience members per student.

(*'Mum' in the 'Mummy & Me' class performances is considered a 'performer' so she would not count as an audience member.)

Very young children don't count in the total if they will not take up a seat.

We want to keep the audience small so as not to overwhelm our very young performers. We also want to keep the performance in our regular venue where possible for familiarity. Extra people could also cause us to go over maximum limits for things like fire safety.

Most likely you will be able to, please discuss it with the teacher. It will depend on the size of the class, size of the venue (some venues do have maximums which cannot be exceeded for health and safty reasons), and whether other people from the same class have also requested to bring along extra people. Also remember that we don't want a huge audience - the larger the audience the more overwhelming it will be for the little ones.

No.

We allow for 4 audience members per student, so if you have 2 children participating in the performance then you can bring 8 people.

You are welcome to take whatever photos and video you like as long as it is used for non-commercial purposes only. Please let us know if you are approached by anyone offering photos for sale.

In this case it would be best not to participate in Presentation Day.

It's a competition we run each year, prizes are awarded to the best photos we receive from Presentation Day.

‍The wonderful images you see on this page were all taken by parents and submitted to the photo comp!

What you see here are images of very happy children who have had a wonderful time at their Presentation Day, taken by proud and happy parents!

Children can arrive in their regular clothes.

Ballet shoes, tights (or socks), camera (or iPads and phones). A new/clean pair of tights will look nice during the performance and in photos. You can purchase from our Online Store.

Only if you (and your child) want to, we don't require all the children to have their hair the same.

Only if their current shoes and tights are a bit messy looking - its totally up to you.
