Performers beware!

The next MYP/DP Production is scheduled for November!

We are excited to announce that the production will be Scrooge! and is to be staged in a creative and unique way…. 

ANYONE in Grade 6-12 interested in performing in this year’s production is welcome to attend an audition. You do not need to be studying Drama…you do not need any previous experience…you only need the desire to perform.

Audition dates/time: Wednesday 26th August and Thursday 27th August lunch in the Theatre. Call backs Friday 28th and Monday 31 August lunch.

Please see Mr Brown or Ms Philip in the Black Box for an audition piece and further information.

I am looking for 2 more MYP/DP students for the Theatre Tech Crew. The work includes lighting, sound and video projection. We are intrinsic to all theatre events including assemblies, school events, productions, dances, etc.

The right person will show flexibility, dedication, willingness to learn and an appreciation for quality and detail. Previous experience is not a necessity.

Interested? Please come to the Black Box Thursday lunch 1:00pm.

Email Mr Brown if you have any queries.

Only four homerooms have successfully submitted their school bells (not counting the homeroom who dropped off an unknown file onto the server). I’m sure KD and Mr. Mello will be very excited about this news, as I’ve promised they can submit additional bells if no one else does — thus far, Mr. Mello has already submitted 3 bells! Bells are starting next week, with Mr. Coad’s advisory bell from “Aero Chord.” Which advisory/homeroom will be next? I don’t know, but I’m desperately hoping other bells will be submitted, especially since my advisory has voted for “Seven Nation Army.”

Please drop bells into: Studentlargestorage / Music / School Bells.

Name them as: Advisory – Song – Artist.mp3

Please have NO metronome ticking in the background and ensure your music is between 15 and 20 seconds.

Last year, we tried to involve every homeroom in the Eco Team, and it didn’t work out so well. This year we would like to invite any members of Grade 3 to 12 and staff, who care about what happens to our planet and are interested in taking action to ensure we are being as green as we can be at NIS. We will have occasional whole-committee meetings, usually at lunchtime, and  sub-committee meetings, also at lunchtime. We need people to help plan an exciting programme of eco-events this year, as well as planning and organising the Earth Hour event in March. Email me if you are interested. First meeting Wednesday 2nd September during lunchtime. Watch out for further information.
