 Important Information

• Registration will open 45 minutes prior to the scheduled start time of a section and will close 15 minutes before the start time and marshalling will commence straight away.
• Girls must arrive ready to perform - no hair or make up to be done in the hall. Any hair spraying MUST be done outside of the hall. 
• Allow sufficient time for parking - the car park is limited, you may need to allow time to park in North Rocks Road or side streets and walk back (10-15 mins).
• There are no scheduled combined sections; the word “AND” denotes that age groups should arrive at the same time. Age groups would only be combined if insufficient competitors arrived on the day.
• Sections will run for example: 5 year heats, 6 year heats, 5 year semis, 6 year semis, 5 year final, 6 year final.
• If there are 40+ girls in an age group, semi-finalists will be chosen and so some girls may only perform once.
• The marshalling areas are STRICTLY for competitors and associates only - no parents. Girls will be looked after by Associates from across our Zone in the marshalling area. If you need to communicate anything to your daughter whilst she is in marshalling, please speak to one of the teaching team first.
• Please ensure your daughter has a small bag with a water bottle, nut-free snacks, and a small reading/colouring/sticker book (pencils only, no pens) and a small towel/blanket for stretching.
• There will be a canteen available onsite.
