House Choir

House Choir this year will be held at the Pat Rafter Arena at Tennyson. The food precinct will open at 5pm with doors to the stadium opening at 5.45pm for a 6.30pm show.  For further details regarding this event, an email will be sent to all families from Terrace Communications.

Order

The order for House Choir is chosen at random every year.  This year, the order (with show times) is as follows:

  • Barrett | 6.40pm
  • Magee | 6.50pm
  • Xavier | 7pm
  • Reidy | 7.10pm
  • Mahoney | 7.20pm
  • Windsor | 7.30pm
  • Treacy | 7.40pm
  • Buckley | 7.50pm
  • Kearney | 8pm
  • Presentation of trophies | 8.20pm

Volunteers

The old saying, “Many hands make light work” certainly rings true for this event.  We expect well over 3000 people in attendance and so ask for volunteers to assist with minor activities on the evening. 

To assist you in choosing when you will be able to help, please check the time your son/s will be performing.  For example – if he is in Buckley House, you will be able to choose a volunteer time anywhere between 6 and 7.30pm.  This will leave you plenty of time to move to your seat and watch your son. 

Volunteering can be as simple as selling drinks or raffle tickets!
