Festival of Choral Music

Our Opera House Choir has been rehearsing to take part in the Festival of Choral Music 2024, to be held at the Sydney Opera House. This is a Public Schools initiative and involves around 28,000 lucky children from around NSW. There are four concerts in the festival, and we will perform in the Barangaroo Concert on Wednesday August 15th, in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House. The excursion has the support of our principal and will be an amazing experience to savour for life.

We will travel to Sydney as a group and will be staying at the Ibis Budget Sydney East in Darlinghurst. Activities have been organised during our stay in Sydney – please see pricing information for more details. Parents are welcome to attend the concert on Wednesday 14th August at 6:30pm.

To confirm your child’s attendance on this excursion, please pay a non-refundable deposit of $50 and return the permission note on the attached page. You will also need to return the permission note and payment for a local school’s cluster rehearsal at Boambee Public School on Tuesday 11th June. Please see the next page for information about the cluster rehearsal.

The estimated cost of the Opera House excursion is $338 per student.
