Yes. This is covered by one of the education licences – the APRA Licence for the Public Performance and Communication of Musical Works by Schools. The licence allows commercially-distributed sound recordings to be played on school premises – and at school events that are not on school premises – providing that no entry fee is charged. (The licence is managed centrally by the Department on behalf of all Victorian Government Schools.
