Do you offer whole school discos?

Yes we can do a prep-grade 6 disco however if your school is large we recommend separating the juniors (prep-3) and seniors (4-6) so we can tailor the music and genre to be age appropriate. We suggest an hour session for the juniors and an hour and a half for seniors.

Can parents and teachers be involved in the school disco?
