Vision & Hearing change - Tues 18th!!!!!!!

Please note the change to the date for Vision & Hearing testing. Apologies, this was my mistake. All year 7s need to be at school 8.45am TUESDAY OCTOBER 18th for Vision & Hearing testing. They will be taken to the theatre immediately afterwards for production rehearsal. Thanks.

No homework this week

There will be no homework for Room 6 students this week because of our full week with the production. Those students who are in novel groups still must make sure they're ready for their group meeting on Thursday or Friday, with their reading done and activity completed. Thanks!

Softball and Teeball

A notice about softball and teeball is coming home. These must be returned by Wednesday. Thanks

School Production Costumes and times

-Firstly, ALL of Room 6 need to be at the theatre at 9am Monday morning.

- Secondly, a reminder to all of Room 6, particularly those who are backstage or part of any crowd scenes, you need to sort your costume for production and have it ready for rehearsal on Monday morning. You need clothes that look from Biblical times (eg tunics, cloaks etc). Plus backstage people will need black clothes. The musical society is open from 10:30-11:30 on Saturday (on Russell St) and has some of these items available. You should have this organised by now but please see Mr Yeoman asap if you're having any issues.

Cheers!

Year 7 Vision & Hearing Testing - Tues 18th Oct

Year 7s are undergoing routine Vision and Hearing testing next Tues morning. Unfortunately this clashes with our production rehearsals but we cannot avoid this. Year 7s will therefore need to come to school at the beginning of the day for the testing and will be taken to the theatre for rehearsal as soon as their testing is completed. If possible could Year 7s please be at school by 8.45am on Tues so we can begin testing and get it completed as early as possible. Thanks.
