Dear Parents,
Big Smiles all round last week. After a whole term of planning,
rehearsals and preparation, came time for the successful staging of
our concert.
The response from our star performers (all 420 of them) has been
fantastic, having had a new opportunity to learn, participate and
have fun. By the end of the week they were ready to take on the
world. Reports of new confidence are being filtered back to me by
parents on a daily basis.
Such a grand scale event hasn’t happened here before so we learnt
some things along the way;
v
Some parents don’t read the
newsletter which is given to the eldest student in each family every
family every Thursday – there are always spares at the office.
v
The response to ticket sales was
fantastic, eventually, but some people left it until too late
unfortunately.
v
Next time we would/could advertise
the matinee option from the beginning.
v
Parents and teachers were extremely
proud of their charges – tears of happiness were not uncommon.
A small group of staff did a terrific job leading the organization
of the concert, but everyone was involved one way or another showing
that teamwork was the winner at the end of the day. A huge vote of
appreciation to one of our parents, Maria Angelkovic, who was our
overall creative director.
Attached to today’s newsletter is an order form for the purchase of
concert DVD’s. A separate DVD for each concert has been made.
Orders, together with payment, need to be brought to the office no
later than Friday, November 4th (no late orders can be taken).
Caste photos are still on display in the main corridor. Orders for
these must close tomorrow (Friday, October 21st).
Kind Regards,
Bronwyn Dell,
Principal
