Thanks to everyone who supported our P.T.A by purchasing a gift from their Father's Day stall, it is much appreciated.
On Friday we farewelled Miss Bowie with a lovely shared morning tea. Thank you for providing a delicious plate of goodies to eat. We are going to miss her lots, but wish her well in her new adventure. On Monday Shelly Taylor starts as the new Room 15 teacher. She has popped in a few times during the last week to get to know the students and spend time with us. We know that our children will make her feel very welcome and be kind to her as she settles into her new school.
School Production - Little Red Rocking Hood
All classes are working hard at practicing their dance for the production. The children are doing amazingly well learning their dance. Here are some of the important dates/information you need to know.
Weeks 7-8 - Classes continue to practice their dance routine at school during school time.
Week 8 - Bring your costumes to school in a named bag and give it to your teacher. Your costume is a plain white t-shirt and plain black or navy pants or shorts for the boys, and a plain white t-shirt and a bright flowy skirt (any colours or patterns) for the girls. Everyone will be bare feet. Your costumes will stay at school until after the production is completed. Costumes need to be at school this week as we have full dress rehearsals next week.
Week 9 - Full dress rehearsals at school during school time. This is our practice runs for the production next week. They will all happen during school time.
Week 10 - Production week. The production will take place on Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th of September in the school hall. On each of these days there will be two performances - a matinee (during school time) and an evening performance. The production will be about an hour long. Our classes have been split into two groups and your child is expected to be at both performances. If your child is in the Rock & Roll Choir, they perform on both days (all 4 performances)
The performance schedule is as follows:
Wednesday 28 September : Group A
Room 1, Room 3, Room 5, Room 14, Room 15
Kakano 7, Kakano 8, Kakano 2, Kakano 5
Thursday 29 September: Group B
Room 12, Room 16, Room 17, Room 2, Room 4
Kakano 1, Kakano 4, Kakano 3, Kakano 6
We are not selling tickets to our school show through the office this year. Tickets can be bought online from Eventbrite. There is only a certain number of tickets for each show so once they are sold that is it. The price is
$6.67, a funny price because we have to add GST and Eventbrite’s commission on top of the $5.00 we charge.
Upcoming events - for your diary
On Friday 28th October at 9.00 am we are celebrating Grandparents Day. Grandparents and Grandfriends (Grandfriends are older people who are like grandparents to the children) are welcome to come and spend the morning with us starting with Mass in the church followed by morning tea and activities at school. Andrew Chinn, a Religious Songwriter and musician, will be leading the singing at Mass. We sing a lot of Andrew’s songs at our Masses and liturgies. It will be an awesome celebration so I encourage everyone to come to Mass on this day.
