INFORMATION FOR SCHOOLS
Bookings for Festival of Bright Ideas Schools' Day, Friday 14th August are now FULL. If you have not been successful in securing a booking we welcome you to participate in the festival on Saturday 15th August.
Festival of Bright Ideas Schools Day will open at 9.00am and close at 3.00pm.
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 20 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 5 and upward. Younger children are not excluded from attending however we have not particularly catered for the requirements of children below grade 5.
There will 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 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.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Festival of Bright Ideas!
