We are thrilled to have been invited again to perform at the annual Unite4Kids fundraising luncheon, taking place at the Adelaide Oval on Wednesday 3 June at 12.00pm.
The Senior Drum Corps will be performing at this significant and meaningful event and we are confident the audience will enjoy a memorable performance from our students. In addition, the Wheaton String Quartet will also be performing as the guests arrive at this event.
Students will travel to and from the venue by public transport (tram). They will depart school at approximately 11.00am and will return around 1.30pm. Parent consent and a letter will be emailed home to parents of the performing students in coming weeks.
