WOW!聽 What a week鈥︹�� there is a reason staff and students are walking around looking a little bit tired today and its called Orlando and Florence Travel back in Time.聽 Our 2022 whole school production was held over Wednesday and Thursday night to a packed house (although a little bit stuffy) and rave reviews.

We are incredibly proud of all our students for their enthusiasm, excitement, and attitude.聽 The excitement backstage was electric, and smiles were from ear to ear.聽 Our Year 6鈥檚 did an outstanding job learning their line, actions AND dance moves.聽 It was obvious that so much work had gone into everyone鈥檚 costumes, props, choreography and rehearsals鈥�.and it was well worth the effort. Thank you to EVERYONE who contributed in making our show a success.

There are a few that need a special mention:

• Our former Performing Arts teacher, Rachel Faigen writing the script
• Lucie for backdrop and prop design
• Jake and Vesna back in the office for all their work in ticketing and question answering
• Our whole staff for stepping up and doing what needed to be done to ensure the success of our whole school presentation.
• Ralph Gotlib and Lynall hall community for hosting (and putting up with) us
• Lorelle Hargraves for choreographing our Year 6s
• All our parent reps for organising costumes, particularly Anna Mortley and Cassie Went for organising a 鈥渃rew鈥� to ensure the Year 6 cast looked amazing
• Kath backstage organisation and theatre knowledge
• Liv for her dedication and direction
• You, our community.聽 We hope you had a great time

If you want to relive the excitement, USB鈥檚 will go on sale next week.聽 A compass alert on Monday will let you know how to order, etc.

You would think that after the production, things would start to slow down鈥�..not at 宅男神器, there are still so many things happening!聽 Still to come this term we have:

• Whole school Assembly
• 鈥淢oving on Up鈥� day
• School council
• Whole school STOMP dance incursion
• Year 6 Graduation
• Year 6 open water program
• Pizza Day
• Reports
• Meet the teacher
• Final assembly

On that note, let me introduce to our new staff for 2023:

• Jane Caulfield (Performing Arts)
• Emily Brown (integration Aide)

It also means that some staff are starting new chapters in their life and wont be part of the 2023 宅男神器 team.聽 They include:

• Conor Roberts
• Gary Pearl
• Lauren Scarfo
• Brayden Dunstan

Another thing that will be tweaked in 2023 will be the structure of our day:

• 9am聽 聽– Start of school day
• 9am 鈥� 10am聽 – Session 1
• 10am 鈥� 11am – Session 2
• 11am 鈥� 12pm – Lunch
• 12pm 鈥� 1pm聽 – Session 3
• 1pm 鈥� 2pm聽 – Session 4
• 2pm 鈥� 2:30pm聽 – Afternoon Recess
• 2:30pm 鈥� 3:30pm聽 聽– Session 5
• 3:30pm聽 – End of School Day

The two-hour block will have 鈥渂rain food/fruit snack鈥� breaks.聽 The earlier lunch will help to refuel our students for the remainder of the day.

There is always lots happening, so make sure you read the newsletter/compass alets/website to know what鈥檚 goin on and when.聽 If you are ever in doubt or need more information, please contact the office directly.

That鈥檚 all from me this week.

Stay safe.聽 Stay healthy.聽 Stay happy.

Russell’s Joke of the week:

 

I don鈥檛 get why Marvel doesn鈥檛 use the Hulk to advertise more.

He鈥檚 basically one big Banner.
