NUTCRACKER We are very proud to have been asked by the visiting Russian Ballet Company to provide students to perform with them at the Empire Theatre in September, the only local studio to be asked to be involved. There are a limited number of tickets at a reduced price available at the Empire Theatre for family and friends of the performing students. Students have been working hard to learn their work and I hope that as many of you as possible are able to come along a support them.
R.A.D EXAMINATIONS ARE LOOMING!!! Please make sure that you are aware of your examination time. Notes have also been handed out about examination requirements (hair shoes etc). Good luck to all students who have worked hard to achieve their very best this year. I know that all your hard work will pay off!!
S.F.D EXAMINATION DATES HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED FOR THE 12 and 13 SEPTEMBER. Examination timetable will be placed on the noticeboard next week. Please ensure that you check your examination time.
SFD Examination preparation dates are set for the 14 and 15 August. Please make sure that you know when you are required.
TIMETABLE CHANGES are necessary for the examination days in term 3. This will affect some the early classes on 26 – 28 July and 13 September. You will be notifed of any changes to the schedule via email. Please ensure that you check your mail.
TICKETS FOR “A Christmas Carol” and “Santa’s Workshop” will go on sale at the Empire Theatre on Saturday 18 September. Be early to ensure that you get good seats are we came very close to selling both shows out last year.
TSHIRTS are by order only again this year. Orders will be taken up until Friday 30 July. It is hoped that tshirts will be in and printed ready for collection by 31 August.
VACATION SCHOOL was a great success and I would like to thank Miss Nolan and Miss Elissa for their fantastic work in preparing students for the upcoming exams.
WHICH PERFORMANCE?? This is a question that we get asked on many occasions every year. This year (as published in the studio brochure) the students have been split into Junior and Senior Schools. Students in the junior school perform in Sunday’s performance of “Santa’s Workshop” and senior school students will perform in both of the “Christmas Carol” shows on Saturday. There may be some students whose classes cross over into both performances, however this should not be too many. Lucky them – they get to perform in 3 shows!!!
