Cluedo Experience
Two weeks ago, the Year 9 Theatre Studies class went to see Cludeo the play as part of our studies into Film Noir! It was honestly an incredible show from start to finish and the overall experience was amazing. The cast was absolutely fantastic. Every performer brought so much energy and talent to the stage, and their acting and comedic relief made the whole performance so much better. They all portrayed their characters so well through the use of their acting skills. You could tell how much effort they put into the show. We will then use our viewing of the play to write a review of their acting skills and production areas for our GAT. This day is something we will all definitely remember for a very long time!

Rehearsal times have been organised to balance staff workloads and availability of a suitable rehearsal space on certain days. Compass will start showing rehearsal times as staff enrol students into these groups, but ensembles rehearsals will all start next week. (9 Feb).
Some students will have their after-school rehearsal times change in Semester 2, and as a parent of two very busy kids myself, I understand the organisational challenge this may cause some families. Please get in touch if you have any concerns!
Being part of an ensemble/band is one of the more rewarding aspects of learning an instrument and is also a compulsory part of our program here at EMC. If the rehearsal times don’t align with your schedule, please email me at: dominic.parsons@education.vic.gov.au
