WHAT IS IT - The Little Thong is the annual variety show that provides an opportunity for the children at CPS to perform on stage in front of family and friends. It is usually held at the end of the school year in November.
It is an event that is Co-Ordinated by the CPS P&C but it’s the children who decide what they will perform and rehearse in their own time till the day of the Little Thong. It is a relaxed afternoon held in the school hall, where family and friends gather to support and enjoy the performances. In previous years performers have included, solo/duo instrumentalists, rock bands, singers, dancers, actors, recitations, gymnastics, martial arts, comedians, magic shows, and impressionists. Every child brings their own individual talent to the Little Thong making it an amazing afternoon for everyone involved

The Big Thong is an annual parents’ night out/live concert and fund raiser for Coogee Public School P&C and the highlight of the social calendar for many in the local community since its inception in 2003. It raises thousands of dollars each year by drawing on the talents of parents and friends (whether singing, dancing, playing or just supporting the event).

THE BIG THONG
WHEN - run annually
WHO’S IT FOR - Parents!
WHO HOSTS IT - the P&C
WHAT IS IT - The Big Thong was initially started by a group of musical parents at Coogee Public who wanted to put together a night of performance and fun as a social/ fundraising night for the school P&C. And 20 years later, there is no better way to have fun, meet other parents and help support your school.
There are opportunities to play in the band, join a dance group, the choir, or get together with some others to perform a song. There is always a different theme each year to guide the performers on what songs to choose and to assist the audience with costumes (if you're that way inclined) No matter how you look at it, The Big Thong has something for everyone!And from time to time, the Coogee Public School Teaching Staff get into the act and strut their stuff. Will they be making an appearance this year?

Do I have to dress up?
