We are pleased to say that parents/guardians will be able to attend the event, however, COVID safe procedures will be in place at the venue. This will require those parents/guardians and spectators in attendance to ensure that they sign in via the Check in Tas app and scanning the available code on the day and showing the successful check in to the staff member on the gate.
