Earlier today, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian confirmed school formals and graduations will be allowed to go ahead if COVID-19 numbers remain low.
It's unlikely formals will look how they have in previous years, with many suggesting dancing and singing will be banned.
Ms Berejiklian said preliminary guidelines would be released on Friday, with further guidelines expected to be released in term four.

"Every school community across the state will be able to have a formal, will be able to have a year 12 graduation ceremony," she said.
"It may not be the same exactly as what happens in previous years, but I want year 12 students and their families and their teachers and school communities to know that you will be able to have those key milestone events."
Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said it is important the events take place after HSC exams to reduce the risk of COVID-19 impacting on exams or preparations.
Year 12 students requiring a COVID-19 test should tell their GP or testing clinic they are currently doing their HSC. This will ensure their test results are prioritised, minimising any disruption to their schooling and study.
