Australian Combined Schools Music Festival - Billeting

At the end of Term 2, students of John XXIII College will be participating in the Australian Combined Schools Music Festival. This festival brings together students from across Australia in a combined Concert Band, Choir and Symphony Orchestra and culminates in a gala concert at Winthrop Hall. As part of this exciting event, we are seeking expressions of interest to host students as a billet family from Wednesday 28 June to Sunday 2 July (four nights).

Billeting students involves arranging transport to and from Methodist Ladies College during the festival and the provision of lunches on three days. A Working With Children Check is required (volunteer level) with the application cost covered by the Music Department. A complete schedule of festival events, transport and accommodation details for billet families is available from the Music Department.
