SCHOOL CONCERT COSTUMES FINAL UPDATE

Thank you to all parents and relatives involved for the assistance we have received in sewing some of the costumes for our whole school concert next week. Your support is extremely appreciated and will certainly add an extra sparkling flavour to our night!

Nearly all students have now been supplied with their costume. They are very excited and are putting in a lot of practice for our big event. 

A hard copy notice has been sent home with your child explaining what extra items may need to be provided from home.

The junior grades will be taking their costume home the night before the concert, and the senior grades will receive theirs this week.

Please do not allow your child to eat or drink whilst in their costume at anytime.

Please remember all costume items are being lent to your child and all items big and small are required to be returned to school the day following the concert. No washing is required. The class teacher will mark your child's name off providing all items are returned, then we can begin sorting and packing them up for future use.

All children are to arrive at the Palais dressed in their costume, promptly, at 6.30pm. 

Hope to see you there!

Thanks.

Chris Trotter - Costume co-ordinator  

SCHOOL CONCERT DVD

We’re happy to introduce a new method of delivering the School Concert for those families that would prefer a digital copy of the performance.  Apart from offering DVD copies, Stagefright Concert Productions have partnered with Vimeo in order to provide a streaming option.

If you would like to choose this option, then all you need to do is select ‘Vimeo Streaming’ on the order form and include your email address.  Once the production is ready for distribution Stagefright Concert Productions will then send you a link to this email and you will be able to access your Streamed copy of the concert.

All ordering will occur via an online ordering form.  Payment will go through Paypal and even if you don’t have a Paypal account, you can check out as a ‘Guest’ and use any credit card of your choosing (AMEX, Visa, Mastercard, etc)
