Moana Jnr: Costumes
Please refer to the attached notification sent to all families via Skoolbag last term.
A reminder to families of students in Year Three and Four that their shirts are required to be sent to school as soon as possible as these students are rating their costumes with Jenny Riddell during Arts specialist class time. Thank you to all families who have already sent their child’s items to their child’s class teacher.
Performance Arrangements
‘Moana Jr.’ is scheduled to be staged across two performances (11:00 am and 7:00 pm) at The Frankston Arts Centre on Monday, October 16. Two students have been cast in each role for the shows and students will be allocated to either performance, or both performances if deemed necessary, as specified in the Audition Registration posted on Operoo in Term One. The arrangements for the two casts will be made prior to ticket sales commencing on Monday, August 28th. A flyer containing further details will be published shortly.
All students from Foundation to Year Six are expected to perform in both the daytime and evening performances of Moana JR. In addition, a range opportunities will also exist for:
-Year 1-4 students to perform a tap dance, led by Mrs Heath.
-Year 5 and 6 students to perform in a contemporary dance item led by Mrs McKeown
-Year 3-6 students who are choir members to perform in a feature item, led by me.
Parents with concerns or challenges around their child’s participation are asked to please contact myself or a member of the leadership team as soon as possible. School productions at St Brendan’s School are traditionally much anticipated highlights of community engagement in our school, occurring every second year.
Production Day
As production day approaches, regular logistical updates will be posted in this newsletter, via Skoolbag and via Operoo for families. As this day is tightly scheduled due to the two performances (11:00 am and 7:00 pm) all students will be required to be dropped at school at 8:15 am on Monday, October 16 for a 8:30 am sharp bus departure. Please note this in your family schedule. Students will all be required back at the theatre between 6:15 pm and 6:30 pm depending on their role, for a 7:00 pm performance. The evening performance is expected to conclude at approximately 8:15 pm.
Yours in faith & harmony.
