Sunday Rehearsals for Kindergarten – Yr 11
We have been having so much fun trying on all our beautiful costumes for the End of Year Performance.
And we are really looking forward to piecing all aspects of our shows together in the upcoming extra rehearsals on Sunday 6 and Sunday 13 November.
It is crucial at this stage that all students are present for these rehearsals as it will impact the quality of the performances and also alleviate any nerves that might be rearing their heads.
It is also important that students are practising so that if they have any questions for teachers in their final classes, they can ask them to ensure that they know every aspect of their dance pieces. Every head, every arm, every angle needs to be correct!
For rehearsal schedules please see the End of Year Performance page on PULSE.
End of Year Performance – Permission Request
If your child is taking part in the Ballet & Dance End of Year Performance you will soon receive a request for permission to be granted for them to take part in this event. This will include travelling on the school bus to The Concourse, Chatswood and any associated costs.
