Friends of Ballet and Dance Morning Tea

FOBD and Ms Karen Martin would like to invite you to a Morning Tea on Thursday 26 March from 8.30-10.00am in Parkes Hall. This is a great opportunity to chat to other parents in different Year Groups. 

Tea and coffee will be provided, please bring a small plate to share if possible. 

Second Hand Sale

To do our part in helping to save the planet, we will be selling (for a very small fee) second hand RAD uniforms including character and tap shoes at the FOBD morning tea. We also have some Ballet bun boxes to sell. 

If you have any good quality RAD uniform that your child no longer needs, please drop them into the Donations tub in Parkes Hall. 

Student Achievements

Congratulations to Maddison Hand (Yr 8) who danced beautifully in the Semi Finals in the statewide (Intermediate) of the Isobel Andersen Memorial Award competition at the RAD last Sunday.

Congratulations to Summer-Eve Smyth (Yr 8) who has now made it through to the Finals in the statewide (Inter-foundation) of the Isobel Andersen Memorial Award.
