Our scheduled rehearsal times have now been moved forward to this Friday the 2nd of December. The Auditorium will be free for us to us only at 2:00pm.

Any other students not picked up by 3:30 will be brought back to school and you can pick them up from school.
If you are able to help tomorrow please let us know. CHRIS CRINGLE: This week teachers have been organizing Chris Cringle with students in their class. Parents can spend up to K10 for a present.
