Friday – May 5 (Performance Day) – IMPORTANT INFORMATION – Please read carefully!
MAIN ACTORS will be at the church from 11am, Orchestra and Choir from 12am. Please could you send your child to school with enough food and drink to get them through a full day of Performance. Likewise before the evening performance, could you make sure that they have had enough to eat and drink! They are required to be there quite early and it will be a long night for them, they will need sustenance to perform at their best!
Matinee Performance – 1.30pm
ALL 109 students involved in the Production will need to be picked up from the Christchurch Community Church (286 Greers Road) at 2.30 – they will not be taken back to school by bus.
NOTE: The rest of the school is coming to watch the Matinee Performance, you are welcome to take all your children directly home from the Christchurch Community Church – you will need to let their teacher and the school office know before the day please, so that we can get our numbers for the bus accurate and account for all students.
