DONATIONS NEEDED

Hello Greenhills Community. We are asking if anyone has any spare animal onesies, dress ups or animal accessories (tails, ears, gloves) at home we can borrow or have donated to the Year 5/6 students for our 2024 ‘The Jungle Book’ Production.

We are also looking for any donations of brand new unopened face paint.

If you have any of these, please bring them to our front office and make sure the costumes you want returned have your name and grade clearly written on them so we can return them to you after the production.

HELPERS WANTED!

We are reaching out to see if there are any parents that would like to get some experience with face painting. We would love some volunteers with a current WWCC to come along to the production to assist with animal face painting.

The students of Greenhills will have some designs ready to go for any volunteers to copy (the face painting does not have to be exactly the same, it will just be a rough design).

Our production will be at Plenty Ranges Arts and Convention Centre on the dates and times below -

Wednesday 18th September (Matinee - 12.00pm/ Evening 7.00pm)

Thursday 19th September (Matinee - 12.00pm/ Evening 7.00pm)

If you have any donations or would like to help, please contact Tegan Smith tegan.smith@education.vic.gov.au

THANK YOU!

From the Year 5/6 Makeup and Costume Production Group
