School Group Information

Thank you for making a group booking for your students to visit the Cairns Civic Theatre. Please read the following information carefully. If you have any questions please contact Ticketlink on 1300 855 835.

Tickets

We do not normally issue tickets for school groups. Students are seated by the ushers according to a seating plan prepared by Ticketlink staff. If you would particularly like tickets to be printed for your students, please contact Ticketlink by phone or email.

Arrival

Please arrive at least 20 minutes before the show starts. A supervising teacher will need to report to the Front of House Supervisor upon arrival, to confirm numbers, special requirements and receive specific directions on entry to the theatre.

Please remember that several staff work in the theatre during the day, and we would appreciate it if teachers/supervisors would keep noise levels down while in the foyer.

Bags

School bags (including lunch bags) are not permitted in the auditorium and are ideally left on the bus. There is minimal space in the Theatre Foyer for school bags.

During the show

A visit to the Theatre is a special occasion. For the benefit of all patrons, please ask your students to refrain from:

• Eating, drinking or chewing gum in the theatre
• Speaking during the performance
• Putting their feet on the chairs or climbing over chairs
• Using mobile phones, MP3 players or other electrical devices. These should be turned off.

Interval

If there is an interval during the show, please ensure students remain within the foyer or theatre gardens so that we can start the second half on time.

Special needs requirements

Please advise the theatre of any special needs your students have in the section above. We have allocated spaces for wheelchairs if required.

Cairns Civic Theatre staff have “Working with Children” suitability cards and may guide students; however total supervision remains the sole responsibility of the school/organisation.

Disclaimer

If minors (persons under the age of 18) are visiting the Cairns Civic Theatre, it is the Contact Teacher’s responsibility to ensure parental consent and other relevant insurance has been arranged.
