Do your children have X-Factor?

Bunyip and District Community House will offer local kids the chance to showcase their talents and skills at the annual “Kids X-Factor”.

Ahead of the event in October, a special registrati­on day will be held on Sunday at the Bunyip Scout Hall from 10am to 2pm.

Bunyip and District Community House coordinato­r Davina Veenstra said Kids XFactor was an opportunit­y for children to build their confidence in performing on stage.

“We have a variety of acts and performanc­es, with kids performing as a mix of both groups and individual­s,” she said. “This event gives children a chance to get in and have a go, and show us what they can do. Previous events have been very well attended, with a mix of parents, friends and family filling the hall. Past events have attracted participan­ts from as widely as Morwell to Pakenham and beyond.”

Kids X-Factor is open to children aged between five and 15-years-old to perform in one of three categories – singing, dancing or entertainm­ent. They are accompanie­d by music director Paul Rolfe. Cardinia Shire councillor Graeme Moore is compere.

A panel of judges made up from community members Jo Simpson, Jen Cunneen and Tony Arrigo will select a winner and two runners-up.

In previous years, young performers have blown people away with their skills. Past performers have also gone on to participat­e in local Christmas Carol events and local and regional stage production­s.

Bunyip Kids X-Factor will be staged at the Bunyip Hall on Saturday, October 21 from 2pm.
