Hi-5 is a show for today’s media-literate children between two to six years old. It’s a vibrant mix of stories, investigation, imagination and adventure. Hi-5 invites children to actively share the excitement of exploring the world through movement, lots of music and laughter.

The Hi-5 cast members are vibrant, highly talented young singers and dancers, whose warmth and energy enables them to engage their audience as they showcase the material and themes relevant to young children and families of today. Learning becomes a delight as children are genuinely encouraged to participate in the show’s interactive segments.

Come and see the new cast of Hi-5 at Randwick Racecourse from 2pm on Saturday 25 April!!
