Acknowledgement

Please check all boxes to acknowledge your understanding.

I have discussed this application with my school principal, including discussion around the dates of rehearsals and performances, and have their support to submit this application.

I understand that there is a participation fee of $37 per student (inc. GST) to participate in the Combined Schools Signing Choir and this will be direct debited from my school in early August, once final numbers have been submitted.

I understand that students must be supervised at all times whilst participating in the Combined Schools Signing Choir.

The school understands that no relief days are provided for school groups performing in the Combined Schools Signing Choir - all relief for teachers and aides from participating schools is the responsibility of the schools.
