Performing Arts and Community Update

A big thank you to all parents and staff who are generously contributing their time and creativity to support our whole school production. From creating and sourcing props, sets and costumes to assisting with choreography, rehearsals and administration, your efforts are truly appreciated. An event of this scale would not be possible without your support.

New dates for your calendar:

• Whole School Rehearsal (at school) Monday 22 June (Term 2). Students are not required to wear costumes.
• Full Dress Rehearsal (at school) Monday 27 July (Term 3). Students should come to school wearing their base costume items, as outlined in the costume requirements letter sent home this week, and are also attached below:

Costume accessories will be provided by the school and will remain at school.

Makeup:

• No stage makeup is to be worn at either dress rehearsal.
• For performances, stage makeup is optional for Prep - Year 6 and, if worn, should be applied at home; it helps ensure faces and expressions are visible under bright stage lights.
• Main Ensemble Cast: selected characters will receive additional makeup at the theatre - details will be shared later this term. These students should arrive with a simple base already applied at home, ready for enhancement by staff.
