YEAR 9/10 MUSIC ELECTIVE NIGHT
REMINDER: Music elective night is on Thursday 14th August, 2008
CREATIVE & PERFORMING ARTS REPORT - JULY 2008
Our initial meeting for the new CAPA (Creative and Performing Arts) Community Support Group went very well, with reports given addressing the progress of our school’s extra curricular activities and the recent developments in our classrooms. We continue to encourage parents and community members to come along and show support, share ideas for future directions and simply meet more people with similar desires, to see our children succeed in their endeavours and enjoy themselves along the way. Extra curricular activities include the very successful Band program, new programs for Show Choir and Dance and the school musical. Please don’t hesitate to contact Mr Laurie Cavill (Head Teacher CAPA) at school, if you have any enquiries regarding this or any CAPA matters.
Congratulations to 3 of our performing groups for their recent excellent performances while representing The Forest HS. The Wind Orchestra and Concert Band competed in the NSW SCHOOL BAND FESTIVAL (Grade 4) at the Sir John Clancy Auditorium University of NSW, Kensington, on Saturday 26th July, winning silver and bronze medals respectively. Many thanks to band director Jason Isaac, for his efforts and expertise in preparing the students, and for the parents who continue to support this valuable ensemble. Our year 10 drama students performed at the Sydney North Regional Drama Festival in the Parade Theatre, NIDA, on Thursday 24th July in the matinee show and again on Friday 25th July in the official night performance. Again, many thanks to drama teacher Kim Ahearn for spending so much of her time, both in and outside the classroom, developing and promoting this talent. Well done to all those students!!
Musical rehearsals have commenced with students from years 7-10. At this stage, Monday lunchtimes and one afternoon / evening (to be determined) every week are the regular times for all cast members. Mr Cavill has established an email distribution list for communication purposes. If your child is not receiving emails outlining information about these rehearsals, please contact Mr Cavill at school. The musical is “A Broadway Bungle” by Anna Magnan and is proving to be very entertaining indeed. Watch for more information about performance dates!!
We have recently engaged the services of dance teacher Sam Parkinson to continue the tutoring and development of our Junior Dance Ensemble. All students who have been part of this group, plus any new students from years 7 and 8, are encouraged to come along Tuesday afternoons and join in again for a very exciting term of dancing!!
MADD NIGHT WEDNESDAY 27TH AUGUST 7PM SCHOOL HALL
Student Representative Council
The SRC have been keeping busy with organising various events around the school. Unfortunately our Term 2 Fundraiser and mufti day was cancelled due to students who constantly wear the wrong uniform, but we voted today at our weekly meeting to send a substantial donation to the Red Nose Day from our funds. This was the charity the mufti day would have supported.
Next we are supporting Jeans 4 Genes Day on Friday 1st August. W e will be selling merchandise and wearing our jeans in support of this worthwhile charity that assists in the research of childhood diseases.
Ryben – our school’s sponsor child – was not affected by the recent typhoon that hit The Philippines, and we are currently organising a small acknowledgement from the school for his upcoming birthday. The
SRC elections are coming up in Week 6 of this term. If you are interested in standing please see Ms Murray in the Library for information. Nomination forms will be available from Week 5, followed by interviews with Mr Molony and Year Advisors. It is a great experience, so please consider standing.
P&C Shopping Tour
Well we are off and running! Saturday August 2nd, 2008 departing from the Forest High at 8.00am sharp and returning between 5.30 and 6.00pm.
Tips if you have not been on one of these fabulous days out:
· Bring a big stripy shopping bag for your goodies
· A bottle of water
· Your wish list
· Cash and/or credit card
· If you see something you like – pick it up there and then as we will not be going back to this outlet.
· Do your homework if you have something specific you are looking for.
· Decaf or special tea bags etc to keep you going (we will be stopping for Tea/Coffee which is provided at some outlets).
P&C Association
Year 11 vs Year 12 Football Challenge.
On the last day of term 2, Year 11 and Year 12 students braved the cold and rain to compete in the annual Bob Philpott Cup football games.
The girls played touch football first and both teams put up a great battle. Thanks to Kara we scored and won the game 1 - 0. The year 11's played really well. Good luck next year.
The boys came next and we took the lead quickly but year 11 came back. The final score was 22 - 10 and we made up for last year and were victorious.
We would like to thank Mr Dowling for refereeing the girls game and Mr Mansell and MrCavill for coaching the boys and the rest of the school for cheering us on.
