Eisteddfods
drawing near, talent quests and exams just around the corner and concert
preparation well under way. What a busy
term it has turned out to be!!!!! Make sure you read this edition carefully so
that you know whats going on over the next few weeks.
TAP EXAMS
We have just received the date for our
tap exams – 27th of October. We will be holding our exams
at the end of the day, as we must combine with students from
Ettinghaussens. It is necessary to keep
costs down by combining with another school.
Unfortunately, we must pay our exam fees by Monday, so it would be
brilliant if you could return the envelope you will receive in class
A.S.A.P. If you can not pay immediately
but definitely want to do the exam, please let Miss Jade know as we must submit
applications on Monday as well. You
will receive a note next week about uniform required for the exam. In the meantime, you may purchase your CDs
and theory notes from Miss Lisa.
Remember practise makes perfect!!!
EAST HILLS EISTEDDFOD
We are busily getting ready for our eisteddfod on the
29th of September. I am
still yet to receive confirmation times, but I will put them on the board as
soon as I hear. Stargirls costumes will
be ready this week, so make sure you return your yellow envelope. No costumes will be handed out until they
are paid for. E.T. classes should be
getting their jeans from Target. You
will be receiveing an envelope to return with the money for your top. Remember everyone should have camel jazz
shoes (except boys). We will be having
a dress rehearsal on the last Thursday of term in your class time so make sure
you don’t leave costume arrangements til the last minute. We will also be having an extra lesson the
day before the competition.
REHEARSAL - Saturday the 28th of September
10.00- 11.00 The Stargirls
11.00- 12.00 E.T.
BALLET EXAMS
Still waiting on the date!!! Hopefully we will have it soon.
WIGGLE AND GIGGLE PARENTS
It is very important that you do not interrupt classes by opening the door during the lesson (except to help change shoes). This distraction has been increasing over the last term. We will be having our watching day for Wiggle and Giggle classes on the last week of term as per usual. It is a good idea to bring your videos, so you can practise the concert routine at home correctly. Thank you.
FUNDRAISING
Thanks to everyone for making our ‘buy a star’ fundraiser so successful and congrats to the winners. The money raised will be put towards buying better lighting, professional sound and props for the concert. The taste testing fundraiser is being organised to pay for our christmas party.
CHRISTMAS
PARTY
The date for our Christmas party will be Wednesday the 11th of December after school hours. This will be combined with the Sutherland branch. We like to provide an outdoors party with rides, sausage sizzle, drinks, dj, lollies etc for the kids. Hopefully we will raise enough money before then to fully cover the costs of this fun social day for all students.
Star-burst
Good
luck to all of our students competing in competitions over the next few
weeks. Miss Jade will be compering the
‘Bob the Builder’ show at Blacktown and Hornsby during the holidays so
unfortunately she will not be able to get to many solo performances. So a big chookas from Miss Jade (especially
to all the littlies).
We
all heard the fab news about the McDonalds Performing Arts Challenge. Out of 76 schools in the Open Age Jazz
Section we have made the final 6. We
will be performing to a sell out crowd at the Opera House on the 22nd
of september. The other schools left in
the runing are from Melbourne, Wollongong, The Central Coast, Hornsby and the
City. So we are the only
representatives left from the Shire. We
know that Miss Jade’s choreography will
do us all proud!!
Congrats and good luck also goes to Karla Soondrum (Janet in Pop 101) who is now in her third round of call backs for the professional production of the Lion King. We all have a good feeling Karla!!
Happy
Dancing!!! Keep watching the whiteboard!!!
