3-6 Production Costume  

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

We’re thrilled to announce that our musical production of Beauty and the Beast Jr is just around the corner! Our students have been working hard in rehearsals, and now it’s time to bring the show to life with costumes!

 

 

What Students Need to Wear (Years 3 to 6):

We kindly ask that all students in Years 3 to 6 wear the following:

 

Villages:

  • Plain black t-shirt (no logos)
  • Plain black shoes (school shoes are perfect)
  • Plain black socks (no logos)
  • Village pants and skirts will be supplied by the school and sent home on Wednesday afternoon.

  • Plain black t-shirt (no logos)
  • Plain black shoes (school shoes are perfect)
  • Plain black socks (no logos)

  • Funny girl  skirts will be supplied by the school and sent home on Wednesday afternoon. 

     

Girls are also encouraged to wear black bike shorts under their costumes.  Any boys who are required to change throughout the show are also asked to wear dark shorts under their costumes.
