Use your power

Use your power,

Don’t wait for Earth Hour!

Please, please, please help by only putting paper used on both sides in the large painted recycling bins! It is very disheartening to find paper which is clean on one side and which can be used again for scrap or for printing. Sort paper before recycling. Thank you.

Earth Hour- Small jars and tins needed

In preparation for Earth Hour arts & crafts, we are collecting used aluminum/tin cans and small glass jars for candle holder creations. Please note:

  • please check that tin cans have no sharp edges along the rim
  • smaller glass jars are needed. Your help in removing all labels would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for bringing any donations to the Library or PYP Design Room  (John Rinker’s Room) before March 27.

Thanks in advance!

The Real Inspector Hound

The Accidental Theatre Company returns with their spring production – Tom Stoppard’s ‘The Real Inspector Hound’. For two nights only, this acclaimed company has kindly agreed to present their latest show – an intriguing country house murder mystery / inquiry into the very nature of existence and truth – in special review for the enjoyment of a limited audience before they go out on tour*. Critics from local and national press will be in attendance.

The two shows will be presented in the Black Box at 7pm on the evenings of Wednesday, 1st April and Thursday, 2nd April. Tickets are available from all regular outlets (Centre lobby) and are FREE!

* Catch the show while you can before it goes out on tour: Shanghai, Beijing, Ulan Baator, Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, Murmansk, Spitzbergen and Reykjavik – schedule TBA (dependent on hitch-hiking opportunities and conditions of spring pack ice).

Early reviews have this to say:

It has scale. It has colour… Large as it is, it is a small masterpiece.
Moon, Second Rate Daily Times

It has a beginning, a middle, and I have no doubt it will have an end. For that, let us give thanks…
Birdboot, First Rate Entertainment Periodical

There are moments, and I would not begrudge it this, when the play, if we can call it that, and I think that on balance we can, aligns itself uncompromisingly on the side of life. Je suis, it seems to be saying, ergo sum.
Moon, Second Rate Daily Times

Sartre meets Shakespeare, Beckett meets Beckham, Joyce meets E.L.James in fifty shades of mauve.

Some of the cast seem to have given up acting altogether…
