Party FAQs

School Discos thrive in a school hall or a spacious indoor area resembling it. In instances where a school hall isn’t accessible, some of our clients have achieved remarkable success by collaborating with nearby clubs or function centers for their events.
Certainly! While it’s feasible to arrange one of our School discos in an outdoor setting, there are important considerations to bear in mind. Access to power is crucial, and although we bring an extension lead, additional ones might be necessary if the nearest outlet is out of reach. Additionally, setting up the equipment in an outdoor space requires shading to prevent adverse effects from direct sunlight on the amplifier and speakers. This might diminish the visibility of disco light effects. It’s important to note that as these events are primarily designed for indoor entertainment, we don’t offer free rescheduling in case of inclement weather. Therefore, having a backup indoor location in case of rain is advisable.
The arrangement varies based on the school’s size. Typically, our host sets up at the center of the stage, utilizing the entire space to create an engaging event. However, we’re flexible and can adjust our space usage if the stage needs to be shared to accommodate a presentation before or after the disco.
Our host will require a table and access to a power outlet in the vicinity. Apart from that, we’ll handle everything necessary for the disco itself. Having drinks available for the kids during the event is advisable, as constant dancing can work up quite a thirst.
We kindly ask that you refrain from distributing noise-making party favors or poppers until after the event concludes. Though our hosts are skilled, managing a large group of kids amid blowing whistles and popping streamers can be challenging for anyone to be heard over.
To ensure we meet your preferences, please notify us at the time of booking if you require kosher or halal lollies for our game prizes. Additionally, on the day of the event, please inform us of any children with specific allergies or dietary requirements. Our prize packs offer a diverse range of lolly types, and we strive to accommodate most needs when informed in advance.
It’s also beneficial to inform your host about any guests with special needs, such as ADHD, autism, Asperger’s, Down syndrome, or other behavioral conditions. While our events aim to be inclusive for everyone, awareness of these conditions allows our hosts to make slight adjustments in their interactions, ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for all children.
There’s no cap on the number of children who can attend our school discos. However, we suggest that for safety reasons, the school or parents arrange approximately one supervising adult for every 15 children attending the 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.
