COSTUME VOLUNTEER MEETING If you have volunteered or are able to volunteer, please come on Sun 31 August at 10.00am
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!!
SECURITY ISSUES –Please note that the studio door is locked in the evening after 7.00pm and access is via the bell. Please ensure that you come into the building to collect your child – students are again starting to wait outside the building for collection and this is a safety issue and is in direct contravention of the studio rules.
S.F.D EXAMINATION DATES HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED FOR THE 6 and 7 SEPTEMBER. Examination timetable is on the noticeboard. Please ensure that you check your examination time.
TIMETABLE CHANGES may be necessary for the 18 - 21 August for those students who have early classes. Notices will be handed out if this affects your child. Also please note that classes will not be held on Saturday 6 September due to S.F.D examinations. However the final day of term 3 will be extended to include Saturday 20 September to make up these classes.
TICKETS FOR LITTLE MERMAID will go on sale at the Empire Theatre on Saturday 20 September. Be early to ensure that you get good seats are we came very close to selling both shows out last year.
VACATION SCHOOL was a great success and I would like to thank Miss Whitten Miss Elissa Mr Simon Mrs Young and Miss Caroline for their fantastic work in preparing students for the upcoming exams.
Happy Dancing
