Performing Arts and School Production Update
This term, all year levels have been working hard in preparation for our School Production on Tuesday 26 August. Students have been learning the main dances for each year level’s scene, and over the past few weeks, they have also started practising their lines during Japanese class.
A big thank you to the prop-making team and the parents who participated in the workshop. Thanks to your help, most of the props are now ready.
The costume team has also finalised the costume plans for each year level, and fittings will begin in each class at the start of next term.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank the parents who brought in empty bottles and newspapers — they’ve been a great help!
We can’t wait to share the students’ performance with you on Tuesday 26 August!
