Hello amazing students of Grade 9 and up! During the holiday you got an e-mail about auditions for a film. That film is what I, Kostya Tyoschin, am creating for my PPP. There will be a meeting tomorrow first half of lunch about how Auditions will work as well as receive extracts of the script. If you are interested, please come! It will be a great opportunity to learn more about both drama and film making.

You will notice sometimes the C&S/CAS activities on Veracross have full sign on them. This does not always mean they are full. It may also mean they have not yet opened for registration. Both the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Pfrang Sports Day have not yet opened for registrations. When they do open for signups there will be places available. I expect the Pfrang Day helpers will open at 1.00pm Wed and the Mid Autumn Festival will open after the National Day holiday. I am waiting for confirmation of how many places are available before opening.

A reminder that a rep from Hong Kong Poly U will be visiting school on Wednesday this week, from 12pm, in my office. She will have a presentation ready to go for the first half of lunch. If you have urgent individual questions (Grade 12s), excuse yourself from class to come at 12, otherwise come along first half of lunch.

All Grade 9 and 10 students should be enrolled in a core Service Activity in some 1 and 2. If you have not enrolled in one please speak to me or your Advisory Teacher about this today.
