School Discos

School discos are a great way to raise funds and to encourage children to be active. Aside from the normal school disco events, Funtime Disco also has developed formats specifically for Year 6 Farewells and School Dance-a-thons. All music played is the latest songs that kids want to hear but we are mindful to always use radio edited or clean-lyric versions

COVID 19 Policy statement

Policy Statement

This Policy is valid from 7 April 2020 to such time as the Government declares an end to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

All Funtime Kids parties Policies and Procedures remain in place with the exception of the following temporary updates –

Procedures

During this time of the Pandemic, our regular staff: child ratios will be maintained; however, attendances will be determined by the space available at each party and or venue (refer to Pandemic – Covid-19 Risk Assessment).
If a child presents to a party or event with a cough, sneezing, runny nose or temperature they will be refused participation and will not be able to return to until they are able to provide a Letter of Clearance from a medical practitioner. Children should not have had Paracetamol/Ibuprofen in the twelve hours before their attendance (as they mask symptoms that may be present). If they have had either of these two medications in that period they must be kept at home.
If an Entertainer presents with a cough, sneezing, runny nose or temperature they will be unable to work their allocated shift and will be required to provide a Letter of Clearance from a medical practitioner before they are able to resume normal duties.
In line with Government directive, all Entertainer, children and parents who have recently travelled overseas must stay isolated at home for 14 days after they return. If they develop flu-like symptoms, they should call their doctor to arrange testing or go directly to a COVID-19 clinic or emergency department.
Parents/Guardians who have symptoms of COVID-19 or who have been in contact with someone that has symptoms of the Coronavirus will not be allowed to drop off or pick up their child/ren from the events. They will need to organise another authorised person to drop off or collect their children.
Families have an obligation to Funtime Kids parties, their guests and other users to ensure they are self-isolating and social distancing as per Government Guidelines to reduce the likelihood of infection and spread of COVID-19 to any of our Staff and clients. If you or someone in your family have been in contact with someone who has a known case of COVID-19 it is important that you follow NSW Health guidelines https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/alerts/Pages/coronavirus-faqs.aspxand do not bring your children to any events
Funtime Kids will always provide hand sanitizer to events where it’s not already provided.
All equipment before every event will be cleaned and sanitized either by sanitizing wipes or sanitizing spray.

Where are these events held?

School Discos are best held in the school hall or similar large indoor space. We have had some clients run very successful event in the past by partnering with a local club or function centre when a school hall hasn’t been available.

Can the Disco be outside?

Yes, it is possible to have one of our discos in an outdoor location, however there are some things to keep in mind. We will need access to power and, while we do bring an extension lead with us, you may need to provide extra if we can’t reach the nearest outlet. Also, the outdoor space will need to allow for the equipment to be set-up under shade as direct sunlight can have an adverse effect on the amplifier and speakers. This will also mean the disco light effects are less visible. Lastly, as these event are intended as indoor entertainment, we don’t allow for free re-scheduling in the event of bad weather so its a good idea to have a back-up indoor location in case of rain.

How much space is needed?

This depends entirely on the size of the school. Our host will generally set up in the centre of the stage and use the whole space to host the event however we can limit the amount of space we use if the stage needs to be shared to incorporate a presentation before or after the disco.

What do I need to provide?

Our host will need you to provide them with a table in a location with reasonable access to a powerpoint. Otherwise we will provide everything needed for the disco itself. It is a good idea to have drinks available for the kids throughout the event as constant dancing can be thirsty work.

Is there anything I should not provide?

We request that you don’t hand out any noise making party favours or party poppers until after the disco has finished. While our hosts are very capable, competing with a large group of kids all blowing whistles and popping streamers to be heard is a big ask for anyone.

Is there anything I need to tell you?

It is a good idea to inform your host if any of the guests have special needs. These can include ADHD, autism, aspergers, downs syndrome and other behavioural conditions. While our events are designed to be inclusive for all, there are times when awareness of children with these conditions can allow the host to modify their performance sightly, particularly when interacting with those children, to ensure they feel safe and included.

Is there a limit to the number of children I can invite?

For our school discos there is no limit to the number of children attending. We do recommend that the school / parents provide roughly one supervising adult to every 40 children to ensure that safety is maintained.

Is there an age limit for this event?

The only age limit we impose for this event is that we only cater for infants and primary school aged children. Unfortunately we do not host school disco events for high schools.
