Rippstock Talent Show
Get ready for the ultimate talent showdown at this year's fete! We're calling on all young stars to bring their A-game. Whether it's singing, dancing, mind-blowing magic, instrumental prowess, or gut-busting comedy, we want you to shine on our stage!
Auditions kick off early in term 4, so students - start planning your act now! Go solo or team up with friends (up to 5 in a group). Remember, you've got just 2 electrifying minutes to dazzle us. Don’t miss this chance to be the star of the show—get your creative juices flowing and wow us with your talent! Stay tuned for more information about how to enter, coming early next term.
Calling All Fashionistas
Start gathering up all your preloved designer clothes, nice labels and cool vintage pieces to donate to the Ripper Boutique stall for the Rippstock Carnival!
We’re looking for donations of good quality womenswear, menswear and kids; all those beautiful pieces you no longer reach for in your wardrobe but would love to see living their best lives on somebody new.
All donations will help raise money for our beloved school. What better time than the school holidays to rummage in closets and offload those beautiful garments that are taking up valuable space in your wardrobe.
You’ll be able to drop your treasures into the office during the month of October.
You can also pass your pre-loved clothes onto Charlotte or Sonny Adorjan (Essie’s parents - Foundation), Julie Pearce (mum of George -yr4 & Henry yr2), or Laurel Davis (mum of Clem - yr4). Laurel will also be able to take donations at the uniform shop on Friday mornings.
So get gathering!
Love, The Ripper Boutique x
