Registration for Schools Day is now FULL. INFORMATION FOR SCHOOLS
Schools Day will open at 9.00am and close at 3.00pm and is free to attend. Each school will be allocated a two hour timeframe that will be fully scheduled between stage presentations, workshops and interactive activities. You will be sent your schedule at the beginning of term 3 (Monday 18 July). By scheduling your time at the festival we aim to provide a cohesive experience for school supervisors and students, maximise the number of participants and allow you to fully experience the festival program.
We have asked participating organisations to aim their activities toward an audience grade 3 and upward. Younger children are not excluded from attending however we have not particularly catered for the requirements of children below grade 3.
There will be times during the schedule when students will be broken up into smaller groups of 5-10. We recommend organising these groups before your arrival and allowing for one adult supervisor for each smaller group.
We ask that you do not bring school bags into the venue.
On arrival you will be briefed by a festival guide. Please ensure you arrive 20 minutes prior to the commencement of your two hour schedule to allow time for the briefing and to familiarise yourself with the festival layout.
TEACHERS BRIEFING We will be holding a pre-event briefing for teachers on Tuesday 2nd August at 4.30pm at a city venue. The briefing aims to familiarise teachers with the program and festival procedures to ensure students get the most out of their two hour session. Please indicate your availability to attend this session by email to admin@luminousevents.com.au. We warmly invite students, teachers and staff to come back to the festival's public day on Saturday 13th to experience the event at your leisure. We look forward to welcoming you to the Festival of Bright Ideas 2016!
