PRODUCTION INFORMATION UPDATE - COSTUMES
With less than two weeks to go until our spectacular production of Beauty and the Beast Jr., alongside our Prep–Year 3 showcase Belle’s Book Shop, it’s time for an exciting update!
Our students are working incredibly hard in rehearsals and have already begun full run-throughs. Spoiler alert: it’s looking AMAZING! This is shaping up to be a performance to remember.
As I walk through the yard, I constantly hear students singing and see them enthusiastically practising their dances. Their energy, excitement and dedication are truly inspiring, and it is wonderful to see the whole school buzzing with anticipation!
Haven’t secured your tickets yet? Don’t miss out! We have only around 40 tickets remaining, and they are now available for any family to purchase.
If you’re hoping to join us for what promises to be a very special night, please get your tickets as soon as possible — we’d love to see you there!
COSTUMES
Every performer will be provided with a high-quality, professionally selected costume designed to help them shine on stage and fully embrace their role. A huge amount of effort has gone into sourcing and sizing these costumes so every child feels confident and special in their performance.
What we need from you: While many schools ask parents to but or make costumes, all we kindly ask is that each student wears black shoes and dark socks. These can be any safe-to-dance-in option: runners, ballet flats, school shoes, or inexpensive canvas shoes from Kmart or Big W (even as low as $3).
Why black shoes? Great question! With thousands of costume pieces in every colour, shape, and style, black shoes are a practical and effective choice.
- They match every costume
- They blend seamlessly on stage
- They’re easy to find and often inexpensive
- They give teachers and parents one clear, simple answer: “Black!”
Of course, students will still be able to perform if they don’t have the correct shoes, but your support in this small detail makes a big difference and is greatly appreciated.
IMPORTANT COSTUME INFORMATION
- Most costumes will be sent home in a labelled bag on Thursday, 10th September. Please treat these with care.
- Some larger costume items or accessories will stay with the class teacher and be taken directly to the theatre.
- Students are welcome to wear a black(or appropriate colour to costume)singlet, t-shirt, leggings, stockings, or shorts underneath their costume for comfort, if desired.
- Students do not need to wear or bring their costume to school on the day of the performance (Friday, 11th September).
- If your child’s costume is sent home, they must arrive at the theatre wearing it by 6:00 PM (unless it’s being provided by the teacher on site).
- All costume pieces must be returned to school by Monday, 14th September. A late return may incur a fee.
If your child won’t be at school that day, please inform the class teacher in advance so they can collect the costume after the performance.
Please do not wash, alter, or clean the costumes.
Thank you once again for your ongoing support – and for all the extra singing and dancing we know is happening at home!
Thank you for your support.
