Dear Parents/Caregivers
We are really
celebrating the Arts at Papakowhai School this term. We are participating in
the Artsplash festival and we have
our own home grown Art Exhibition at
the end of term.
On Wednesday next week we have our drama
group performing at the State Opera House. They are doing a parody of High
School Musical and it looks really cool.
The following
week our choir and wearable arts group
will be presenting at the Michael Fowler Centre. This promises to be a
wonderful evening. I have had a sneak peek at some of the costumes and they
really do look WOW!
The next night
we have our dance group performing
at the Michael Fowler Centre. This dance has been choreographed and organised
by some of our senior students.
We also have a
selection of our visual art being
exhibited in the Renouf Foyer of the Michael Fowler Centre from September 9
-13. I am very proud of all of the performance groups and wish them well for their
participation in the Artsplash festival.
If you are not
able to attend the festival you won’t miss out because our own art exhibition is running in our school
hall from September 24- 25. Our
performance groups will also be presenting some of their work at the
exhibition.
So that we can
keep the cost of entry to a gold coin donation for our art exhibition, I am
looking for a sponsor or sponsors for
the event. At the exhibition we will have a colour A5 programme and we are
looking to cover the back of it with sponsors’ messages or advertisements. We
want to divide the A5 page into 8 sections and sell them for $100 each. If you
don’t want to be named you are welcome to make an anonymous donation. The $800
raised will cover the cost of hiring screens (which we are getting from 3
different sources) for the event. If you would like to purchase one or more of
these sections please contact me.
Thank you for
your on-going support for the school and your children’s learning. It has been
great to see over 90% of parents attending interviews.
Kind regards
Mark Smith
