TERM 3, 2012

THE END OF TERM 3 IS APPROACHING!
What a fun filled term it has been so far. All of our teachers are thrilled with the
creativity and energy children are bringing to each class. I am also very proud of
our wonderful teachers, who are helping to bring out the creativity in their students
and ensuring that everyone is achieving their best in each lesson. Feedback we
have been receiving is that many parents are also very happy with the enthusiasm
and dedication that our teachers show each week. We love hearing your feedback,
so please, keep it coming.
Our students are starting to become excited about what is coming up in Term 4, and
well they should be as it will be:
* LIGHTS *
* CAMERA *
* ACTION *
Yes! Term 4 is Year End Production time, and anticipation in Academy
classes is running high! Teachers will be giving their classes interesting clues
regarding the plays, but of course, we will keep some surprises for next term!
From the beginning of Term 4, all classes will rehearse for their very own year
end play. Students will have lots of fun using the skills they have learnt through
our programme to prepare their plays, and will also learn lots more during the
term. Our plays are written to involve the whole class and include a
wonderful opportunity for children to show their friends and family members just
how much they can achieve! We can’t wait to help create special memories for
your children during our production term! (See inside for dates of shows.)
Don’t miss out on a place for Term 4’s plays.

SOME OF OUR CLASSES ARE FULLY ENROLLED, WITH
WAITING LISTS.
IT IS NOW TIME TO SECURE YOUR CHILD’S PLACE IN
CLASS FOR TERM 4, 2012.
HOW TO RE-ENROL

Fill in the enrolment form inside this Newsletter and return to your child’s
teacher, or our office, along with a $40 deposit to reserve a place in class.

Forms and deposits must be received by Saturday 29th September, at the
latest, to guarantee a place in class, as children on our waiting list will be
called over the holidays. (Earlier returns would be much appreciated.)

From the beginning of Term 4, all students will be involved in rehearsals for
the end of year productions. As very few students leave classes at this
time of the year, we have assumed that all present students are
continuing and have cast our plays accordingly. As you will understand,
it is very disappointing to have to reorganise roles unexpectedly. If for any
reason your child is unable to attend next term, or is not able to start
until Week 2 of term, please advise us on the re-enrolment form.
PRODUCTION DATES
Our End of Year Productions will be held in the beautiful theatre at St Stephens
School Duncraig.
VENUE:
St Stephens School Duncraig
Doveridge Drive, Duncraig
DATES:
Saturday 15th December 2012
OR
Sunday 16th December 2012
We will let you know which day your child’s class will be performing, as well as
the allocated time, early in Term 4. All other details relating to our Year End
Productions will be covered thoroughly at this time also. Your child will only be
involved on one of the performance dates.
We have already arranged the performance schedule and it is not easy to
change. Should any family have an important event happening on the given
performance dates, please phone our office immediately. While we cannot
promise to be able to accommodate your need, every effort will be made to do
so.

Creating Special Memories
Our students all look forward to taking part in their year-end play. The delight
in their faces as they come off the stage after a performance says it all!
We believe our plays are so important to teach young people a sense of
commitment.
Therefore, I urge you to make every effort to ensure that your child completes
Term 4 and gains the benefit of this unique experience as well as a sense of
pride and achievement.
Our Focus for Next Term
As well as ensuring that our students enjoy the fun and creativity of working on
a “real play”, we also aim, in Term 4, to help students develop:
A sense of commitment;
seeing the year through to
a finished product
Concentration
and memory skills
Team spirit
Self-esteem and
pride in themselves
Confidence in
their own ability
Performance skills
