FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I’ve ordered online – when do I get the Wristbands (i.e. the ‘ticket’)?
Wristbands will be provided to the children via their class on Wednesday 30 July. Please ensure your child is wearing these when they arrive & at all times at the event.
How do I redeem the food & drink from a Ticket & Food Combo ticket?
Head to the BBQ stall with your child and show the P&C volunteers their wristband. Simply choose a drink (a juice popper or a small water) and get your Sausage on a Roll token for the BBQ.
Will the Disco still be on if it’s raining?
Absolutely! We’re in the hall and under the COLA, so there’s plenty of fun to be had under cover.
Who can attend the school disco?
The disco is open to all students of Bexley North Public School. Parents or guardians must accompany their children and remain on-site for the duration of the event.
Can I bring younger or older siblings?
The event is designed for children attending BNPS. While younger siblings are welcome, we ask that they remain under close supervision. Older siblings may attend if necessary but will need to pay an entry fee and must be always supervised by their parent/guardian.

To ensure the safety and supervision of all children, we ask that parents remain at the event. This also helps create a fun, community atmosphere for everyone!

What areas are out-of-bounds on the night?
For everyone’s safety, out-of-bounds areas during the disco include the front of the school (aside from entering and leaving), the playing fields, behind the hall/near BASC, and all classrooms. Students should not enter these areas at any time and must remain within the designated disco zones (the hall, covered areas, COLA). We ask that parents/carers please remind their children of this and keep an eye out on the night.
Expected behaviours on the night
We ask that all children and parents/carers to demonstrate respectful, kind, and inclusive behaviour towards others at all times.

Dancing, singing, and having fun are encouraged—while remembering to keep hands to themselves and be mindful of others’ space. Running, rough play, or unsafe actions are not permitted. Children must remain inside the venue unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. Most importantly, everyone should contribute to a fun, safe, and positive atmosphere for all.
