Don’t worry. It won’t rain on the Duck’s parade!
If rain looks likely tomorrow evening, Plan B will be the Centre Cafe, as originally planned. The party will go on…!
The Duck Has Landed!
It’s that time of year again! The Purple Duck, 2015 edition, has arrived.
It’s a glossy, all-colour collection of the very best of an excellent year’s work, done by students (and a few teachers) in visual arts and creative writing. And to launch this new issue, the Purple Duck team is hosting a garden party. Come along for an al fresco, candle-lit evening of song and dance, art and poetry.
Please ignore the purple posters that have been telling you for a week now to go to the Centre Cafe! It’s a ruse to confuse – a commonly used literary technique that adds mystery and a pleasant sense of bewilderment. Instead, come to the patio area at the back of the Design Centre (make your way through the cafeteria to get there – if lost, follow the purple string…).
The evening starts at 7pm. The Purple Duck tradition of open mic continues, so bring your own favourite song, poem or other piece of literature to read. Wear purple if you can. And don’t forget – for a pittance – to pick up your own copy of this year’s magazine, on sale for the first time at the party. Be the first in your street to get your hands on this year’s magazine!

Where Won’t You Be?
Hello MYP/DP Students,
Where won’t you be at 7:59am Friday morning???
A. Sitting in your Homeroom wondering why the lights are off and no one else is there.
B. Strolling down the hallway listening to old Taylor Swift songs and wondering why the place is empty.
C. Waiting outside Dr. Saavedra’s office for a signature of some kind and lamenting his absence.
D. Looking in the mirror in the bathroom telling yourself how amazing you are, over and over again.
E. All of the above.
Of course it’s E! You will be seating in the Theatre awaiting the penultimate MYP/DP assembly of the year! Athletics galore, Student Council Elections, and so much more. See you there!
