Description: Students who wish to be in the Senior Pom Team will be required to attend an audition as the team usually consists of 16-20 students only. If students are keen to join this group, it is encouraged for them to join the Year 7 Dance Group to learn the technique of Pom dance and to audition for the Junior Pom team in previous years. Successful students who make the team, will compete in 2-3 competitions throughout the year where they will be provided with a costume. Students should note that if they had been in the Junior team or Senior team previously, this will give them a better chance of being in the team, but does not give them a guaranteed place.

This activity takes place during: 1-2 morning rehearsals per week, Terms 1-3. Occasional weekend rehearsals are required leading up to competitions.

Teacher / Faculty in Charge: Ms Hopkins (PDHPE/CAPA)

Approximate Cost: $120 class fee + competition fees + purchase of jazz shoes if students need. No cost for costume hire.
