RUCCIS Circus incursion
The students from Prep to Grade 6 jumped straight into our Circus Skills incursion last week hosted by Ruccis Circus school. Emily, our instructor, did a fantastic job of differentiating classes to create age appropriate skill development. We tried many different tricks with juggling balls, spinning plates, hula hoops and flower sticks. We will continue to build on these skills alongside our new clowning knowledge in the coming weeks. Students will create a short performance to share in class by the end of the term and some skills may even feature in Seussical Jr production next term! Ruccis Circus school offers after-school & weekend classes, hosts birthday parties and can be booked for events. They also have videos of activities that children can practise from home.

Saturday March 29th - We are booked in to perform a 'taster' at the Warrandyte Festival at approx 12:20pm (be there at 12noon). Please put this date in your diaries. Thanks Gavin, Erica and Cam for helping them prepare and record backing tracks.
Please help your children learn the song lyrics and spoken lines (if they have them). All is available on the dropbox link and the compass email sent this week to parents of the cast.

Jacqui B is working hard as our Costume Manager at the moment organising Who and Circus costumes. We will be asking for students to bring some items from home soon so stay tuned for an email about that.
This show is shaping up to be another very memorable childhood experience and an absolute joy for the audience - the inside playground and incredible sets, very catchy tunes and our enthusiastic and talented students. Compass consent and payment is now out so check out Events tab on compass.
Please pop into the Theatre (on Tues or Thurs) or email if you have any queries or concerns,
