Photographing groups?

I'm sorry if this seem like a simple question for some but I am having a lot of trouble with it.
What is the best camera settings for a group shoot?

I am photographing about 5-6 children in a group shot, They will be sitting at varying distances from me, the thing is I've tried this sort of this before and never get a good shot.

Using a small aperture to get every one in focus, sets a slow shutter and some one moves during the shot
using a large aperture means that the kids at the front or back are out of focus.
HELP...
I've tried using program mode ??? it sets an aperture of about 5.6 some one is out of focus.
I NEED HELP PLEASE.

I have a canon 30D will be using my flash speed lite 550ex as the shoot will be at night? why I don't know thats what time they want it...
my lenses are 50mm f/1.8, 28 - 90mm f/4-5.6 and the 90 - 300mm f/4.5 - 5.6

Cheers
Bella
