Please note for the senior concert, all students will have the same singular hairstyle. Please

find photos of the compulsory hairstyle in the foyer at reception. This hairstyle will alleviate any stress backstage

of changing hairstyles for different routines. The ponytail must be straightened. Ballet can

twist the ponytail into a bun. Please pre-organise your own braiding from either a senior

student, a parent or a hairdresser so you are organised on the day.

Thank you for your support please call anytime and we can help you with anything you may

need. Looking forward to a concert filled with Elements.
