The practical questions

What schools usually want to know

Clear answers to help with planning, internal approval and running the day.

01

Planning the event

We plan the session around your student numbers, ages, venue and timetable. On the day, our team brings the equipment, prepares the foam zone, briefs the group and hosts the activity. We then pack down, so your staff can focus on students and the rest of the event.

The space depends on the number of students, the session format and the surface available. A clear outdoor area with room for defined participant boundaries is usually best. Send us the venue details and, if helpful, a few photos. We will recommend a practical layout.

Most events need suitable vehicle access, a nearby standard water connection, access to power and a clear activity area. We will confirm the exact requirements for your setup before the event, so there are no surprises on the day.

The right surface depends on its condition, drainage, access and how students will move through the area. Share your proposed location with us and we will review the practical setup before the event is confirmed.

We plan the arrival time around the setup, site access and your schedule. Your event details will include an agreed arrival time, giving us enough time to unload, set up and check the activity area before students enter.

02

Safety and documentation

The foam solution is diluted with water and aerated through purpose-built equipment. You can download the current Safety Data Sheet and product information from the documents section so the exact formulation and supplier guidance can be reviewed before booking.

The foam is completely non-toxic and we use it in line with the supplier’s current instructions. Students receive a clear briefing before the activity, and you can download the current product information from the documents section.

Yes. Our operators hold the checks required for school and child-focused events. You can download the relevant confirmation from the documents section as part of your school’s approval process.

Yes. You can download our current certificate of currency from the documents section. The certificate includes the current cover details and expiry date for your school to review before the booking is finalised.

Our foam can be used in any suitable environment, although a spacious outdoor grass area is ideal. We recommend practical event clothing and an extra check for delicate fabrics, specialised surfaces, new landscaping or areas with unusual drainage. Current supplier guidance is available in the documents section.

03

Students and sessions

We can shape the session for primary students, secondary groups, mixed-age school communities and OSHC programs. The briefing, music, activities and rotations are adjusted to suit the ages taking part.

When ages vary, we can separate students into timed groups and adjust the instructions, activities and pace for each session. We will plan the most practical format with your organiser before the event.

We can support events of any size with three active foam cannons and managed group rotations. Tell us the expected attendance, ages, available space and session length, and we will recommend the equipment, staffing and rotation plan for your event.

Yes. Rotations can help larger groups, different year levels and events with limited activity space move through the foam zone in a clear and organised way. We can work with your timetable to recommend group sizes and session lengths.

The hosted experience can include music, countdowns, games and guided activities. We tailor the format to the age group, purpose of the event and time available, so it feels like a complete activity rather than equipment hire.

04

Weather, surfaces and pack-down

Light rain does not always rule out an outdoor event, but student comfort, access and site safety come first. We will monitor the forecast with your organiser and discuss the available options if the conditions are not suitable. Any postponement or cancellation terms will be included with the quote.

We assess the conditions for each site and event. Hydration, wind direction, nearby buildings and safe equipment operation all matter. We may adjust the position, timing or rotations, and we will not operate if the conditions fall outside the agreed safe plan.

The timing varies with the amount of foam, weather, surface and drainage. We will explain what to expect for your venue and confirm any site or cleanup considerations before the event.

05

Quotes and booking

Stay & Play is based in Brisbane and travels to school, OSHC and community events across Queensland. Availability and travel costs depend on the location, date and event size. Add your suburb or postcode to the enquiry and we will confirm what is practical.

We consider student numbers, ages, session length, venue layout, travel, equipment, staffing and any special foam requirements. You do not need to choose a package first. Tell us about the event and we will recommend a suitable setup with a clear quote.
