Whole School Production - Term 3

A reminder that in Term 3 of this year, BPPS will be staging a whole-school production, involving all students from Foundation - Grade 6. 

Our production will be held over two nights: Monday 24th July and Tuesday 25th July at the Besen Centre in Burwood. 

Grade 3-6 students will perform on both nights.

Students in FSR, 1MC and 2LP will perform on Monday 24th July.

Students in FKJ, 1JT and 2DF will perform on Tuesday 25th July.

If you know your child will be unable to perform in the production due to family holiday or otherwise, please let me know via email emma.thomas2@education.vic.gov.au at your earliest convenience.

Rehearsals update

Rehearsals for the cast have begun and it was great to see the enthusiasm of our students as they tackled their varying roles. I am still chasing quite a few acknowledgements of our rehearsal schedule and permission for students to attend rehearsals outside of school hours, so if your Grade 5/6 child has been offered a role in the cast or crew, please submit the google form that has been sent, or get in touch with me if you would like me to resend the form.

All students not in the cast or crew have begun learning their songs and dances during Performing Arts classes, and the music space has been a scene of much sound and movement! Keep an eye out on Seesaw as I will shortly be uploading the choreographed versions of each of the dances, so students can practise at home should they wish.
