Notice of Photography

We will be taking some photographs at the event for the purpose of adding to our website, sharing an update of the event in our next newsletter, and potentially for future marketing purposes. As children will be in casual clothes, there will no reference to their specific school, or any identifiable information.
Images taken may be from a distance/ behind the band, in which children will not be able to be individually identified; or may be taken closer / in smaller groups where individual children’s faces can be recognised.

If your child is attending this event and you do not consent for your child to be included in these photographs, please inform us in writing to office@keymusicaustralia.com.au by no later than 3pm Friday 28th June 2024 so that we can ensure that their image is not included.

You do not need to contact us to confirm that you do give consent to photography.
