Music Evening & Tech
The annual Music Evening is this upcoming Tuesday night (April 28th). We have a variety of acts involved, including 4 rock bands, Korean drummers, orchestras, small ensembles, and the DP Music class.
The tech rehearsal is on Monday, April 27th, from 3:15 – 5:15. This is a calendared event because we need to organise 100+ students. Unfortunately, this will impact upon other scheduled activities, and we apologise for that. We’ve asked the sporty student to wear their uniforms to the rehearsal so that they can leave right away for their practices. Also, it’s a top’n’tails rehearsal, which means students are free to leave as soon as their portion is finished, e.g. since orchestra is going first, that will release 40 students within the first 30 minutes.
If you have any questions or comments, please refer them to Bonnie… or Amy (grin).
Thanks for all your support!
Grade 5 Fundraiser
There will be a bake sale next week from 27th to 29th of April in the foyer to support the local animal shelter. Please check the brochure attached to this post. There will be posters and flyers around school as well.
WANTED – cash collection/money boxes
Tonight (Thursday) is art auction and we would like to have 4 cashers to allow the process of paying for art to run more smoothly and quickly. Unfortunately, we only have one money box! If you have a box which we could borrow for this evening only, the Student Council would greatly appreciate it. See Ms. Hansen if you can help.
Thanks,
The Student Council
