School

Please note: at this stage you are giving your ideal numbers.

2025 is slightly different in that it will only be ONE concert and at the Sydney Opera House meaning there will be limited numbers. Decisions will have to be made about how many students each school can bring: especially Soprano and Altos. 

You will be told of your successful numbers and allocations on Friday 28 February 2025.
