PERMISSION REQUIRED - NZSO Music of Emotions Concert
12 Oct 2026

Kia ora koutou,

We are delighted to have secured tickets for our whole school to attend an unforgettable concert experience with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra: How Do I Feel? The Music of Emotions on Monday 19 October at Christchurch Town Hall.  

Inspired by Rebekah Lipp and Craig Phillips’ bestselling book How Do I Feel? A Dictionary of Emotions for Children, this concert explores some of the many emotions we experience and the extraordinary ways music can help us express, understand, and talk about them.

We will be travelling to Town Hall by bus, leaving Te Kura o Ōhinetahi at 9:45am and returning back to school at approximately 1:00pm.  The cost for this concert and transport to the venue is $16.50 per child.  This amount will be added to your school account.  If you have any concerns about paying this cost or any other aspect of your school account, please contact Rebecca in the office to discuss.  

Children will need to be in full school uniform for this event.  They will have morning tea before they leave and lunch on arrival back at school.

Our entire staff will be accompanying the children on this exciting excursion; however, we also have a limited number of extra adult tickets for parents who would like to come along & supervise.  If you are keen to join us, please indicate in the form linked below.

Please complete this form NO LATER THAN Friday 16 October to give permission for your child to attend.  You will need to complete one form per child, please.
