Month: September 2024

The Primary Variety Show is scheduled for 18th October. This morning Jamie will post Audition sign up sheets in each G1-5 homeroom. Any child/group wishing to perform will need to audition next week.

We are hoping for a range of performances (eg music, magic, juggling, skipping, skits, dancing, Taikwando, football tricks) Items should be no longer than 2 minutes. For auditions – there should be evidence of some practice, with a commitment to continued practice to polish the performance before the day of the Variety Show. The audition itself does not need to be ‘polished’.

Audition Days and Times 

Where: PS Performing Arts room

When: Second half of lunch

Grade 1 and 2 – Tuesday 24th September

Grade 3 – Wednesday  25th September

Grade 4 – Thursday 26th September
