IT’S a disco for the kids, by the kids.
Cockatoo’s disco is ramping up again to celebrate the end of term and the kids are already excited.
On 27 June, from 2.30pm to 5.30pm children of all ages are invited to attend the disco dressed up in PJ theme.
On Friday, Bree, Gryphen, Evie, Ruby, Sian, Matt and Jack ran a dress rehearsal, already excited for the event.
Dressed in their onesies, Evie and Ruby said they couldn’t wait for the disco.
“It’s really exciting,” Evie said.
“We run the disco, so we have people being the DJ, working in the kitchen, others take ticket sales.”
The non-for-profit event aims to give the children of Cockatoo something to do, and to look forward to.
Evie’s mum Kathy Brown said she helped with setting the hall up, as well as paying for the technology needed to get the event up and running.
“The kids do it all, it’s so good for them,” she said.
“Not only are they doing something for the community but they are learning how business works, too.
“All the money raised from the night, goes towards making the next one bigger and better.”
It will be held at Cockatoo Hall, and cost $5 for kids while parents are free.
