- We will finish in time for students to be picked up from JS pick-up at 5pm promptly. Please let me know if your child will be catching the late bus or going to after-school care instead.
- Students may wish to pack extra afternoon tea - it will be a long day.
- Students should come to rehearsals with a book to read or homework to complete for any ‘down-time’ they may have.
- Students are expected to be prepared for their rehearsal and should remain in the Glass House for the duration.
