Calling all Actors, Singers, Dancers and Tech Crew. HOUSE PANTO IS COMING!

Student House Leaders have been busy organising their writing teams to finish their scripts by the end of term. Auditions for roles will be early Term 3, so we are looking for people who want to have fun, meet new people and contribute to a fun group project! You don’t need any experience; just a positive attitude! Students should sign up to their House’s Google Classroom (links have been emailed) and chat to their Student House Leader or Essie Hoggart if they have any questions! House Panto rehearsals are Mondays at first break.

Key Class Representatives - Semester 2 Elections

The Middle School is calling for applications from students in Years 7 and 8 who would like to be considered for Key Class Representative (KCR). KCR’s join the Middle School Student Voice Council, who meet weekly, and bring forward the ideas of their Key Class. It is a fantastic role for those students who would like to try leadership and be involved in running Campus initiatives. Application information was emailed to students this week, and are due to Essie Hoggart and the students’ Key Teacher by Monday 28 July. One minute speeches to Key Classes will happen between Thursday 31 July and Friday 1 August (around Outdoor Ed for Year 7 classes). Please email Essie Hoggart if you have any questions.
