CNY Tech Rehearsal
Dear Teachers,
We will be having our Chinese New Year assembly technical rehearsal on Monday from 3:00 – 4:30. This will be a tops’n’tails rehearsal in which we practice entrances, exits, and tech only. This may impact upon your activities and we apologise for the inconvenience; however, we hope to get your students back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your support in helping us to put on a well-polished performance for you. If you have any questions about the assembly, please contact Bing (PYP) and Kasson (MYP/DP); if you have questions about the tech rehearsal, please contact Amy or Sam.
Thanks,
Amy

If any classes have it (if it was borrowed from the costume room), could you please contact Miss Keus ASAP and have it sent to the back stage of the theatre. Thanks!
