Carols On The Green 2025

Event Details:

We are excited to continue our Carols On The Green tradition this year, taking place on the evening of Wednesday 10th December on the oval. This annual end-of-year celebration provides an opportunity for all children to experience the joy, pride, nerves and satisfaction of collaborative performance for a large audience of hundreds of people. Families are invited to bring picnic rugs/chairs, as well as dinner to enjoy together.

3:30pm: Set up chairs and rugs on the oval if you wish. No items will be allowed to be set up on the oval before this time.

5:00pm: Enjoy a BYO picnic dinner, connect with others and check out the raffle and stalls as background music fills the summer air. NOTE: no BBQ available this year however there will be a small stall with drinks and icy poles for sale.

6:00pm: Concert starts. Please be seated by this time.

8:00pm: Concert concludes. Share some highlights from the night on your way home!

Songs:

All children will participate in two songs: their own year-level number, and the whole school finale. Lyrics, tracks and choreography videos can be found HERE.

What To Wear:

As children attend the carols event in clothes from home, below are costume themes and ideas to allow plenty of time to get things sorted. It is the overall effect of the whole year-level that has an impact, so please know that there is no pressure to go all out on costumes or requirement to wear every item on the list of suggestions. Keep in mind that children should not have anything in their hands, and that they need to be able to sit on the ground in their costume for a long period of time. We cannot have children leaving to change clothes as they also have an important role as respectful audience members for the other acts.
