Production practise is in full swing and the students are doing an awesome job!

Rangiora and St Martins Studios

Our Rangiora and St Martins studios are continuing as normal today.  We'll see you there!

It's SNOWING!

Our Shirley and Fendalton classes are cancelled today.  Schools are closed and if it isn't safe enough to go to school, then it isn't safe enough to head to drama classes.  I hope you are all keeping warm at home and enjoying the fun of winter!  We look forward to seeing you next week instead!

Queenspark Change of Venue

We are moving our Queenspark class to a new venue!  From 4th August we will be at the Parkview Lounge at 75 Queenspark Drive.  We look forward to seeing you all there.

TERM THREE

Enrolments are now being taken for term 3.  Please phone 359 6546, if you would like to enrol your child in our fantastic drama classes in Christchurch and Canterbury.

Our term 3 classes begin the week beginning 1 August, and we will be completing a 10 week term.  Towards the end of term 3 we will start preparing for our Production which is being held in term 4.

I hope you have a great school holidays.

WATER BOTTLES

A reminder that it is good practise to bring a water bottle to class.  We use our voices a lot - especially during a performance term and water helps!

TERM TWO PERFORMANCES

At the end of this term we invite the parents along for a Parent Day Presentation.  As parents are not invited to watch our classes each week, this is a fantastic chance for you to come along and view the type of things we do within a lesson.
It is also a chance for the students to peform for an audience, in a safe and easy way because it is just within a normal class lesson.
Newsletters will go out soon, with all the details!

PROP LIST for the following classes: Fendalton, Amberley, Queenspark, St Martins, Lincoln, Paparoa St

Last Week for TERM 2

This week is the last weeek for term one.  A reminder to parents that all enrolments are continued into next term, unless we hear otherwise.  Phone me on 359 6546 to let me know if you are NOT returning.
Have a safe and happy holiday!
