ALL OF OUR SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE INVOLVED The students have been working hard to learn and practise a variety of dances, under the guidance of a professional choreography company, Footsteps. While it is an expectation that children will be able to perform at the concert we also want you, their parents and family, to attend. Your attendance is vitally important to provide the students with an audience for their performance and therefore a real reason to develop their performance skills. NOTICES THIS WEEK If your child is unable to attend on the night they will still be involved in rehearsals with their grade, however not in a manner that would affect the performance on the night. If your child will not be participating, please send a note to their classroom teacher. CONCERT REHEARSAL The whole school will be going to Robert Blackwood Hall on the day of the concert (Tuesday 9th September) for a full rehearsal, even if your child is not attending the concert in the evening they will need to go to the Hall as all teachers will be involved in the rehearsal. If you have not already, please return the bus permission note that was sent home late last term. If the form has been misplaced, you can print a copy from the MWNPS website.

Order forms for the DVD will be going out before the concert. Parent Helpers Thank you so much to the parents who are helping out creating costumes for the concert.
