Fwd: FAME Production at Greymouth High School Opportunity

My name is Katie Hanson, and I teach dance at Greymouth High School.

This year, GHS is putting on the production 'FAME the Musical'. The producers have decided to open up auditions to Homeschool kids, and JPII students to give them an equal opportunity to perform.

The general information I can give out at the moment is:
Auditions will be held at lunch-times (1.15-2pm) Tues, Wed, Thurs, 31st March, 1st Apr, and 2nd Apr.

Decision on casting will be made by Monday 6th April. At this point, the people chosen for roles will need to commit to our rehearsal schedule.

Rehearsals will be Tuesdays 3.30pm-5.30pm, Wednesdays and Thursdays 1.15-2pm every week beginning Tuesday 28th April until Fri 3rd July.

Then there's a week off.

The week beginning Monday 13th July will be 11am-5pm to get us running full acts, with stage crew (that's our school holidays, so we can take the longer time).

Rehearsals for the next three weeks would will be the same as previously, but with Tuesdays extended to 7.30pm.

Final run through is Friday 7th August from 12.15pm onwards

Technical rehearsal is Saturday 8th August

Dress rehearsal is Sunday 9th August.

Tuesday and Wednesday will be shortened primary school performances during the day.

Thursday 13th, Friday 14th, Saturday 15th nights are performance evenings, show starts 7pm

Sunday 16th Matinee starting 11.30am.

More details will be released when the Audition pack is ready, and I can forward that on.

There may be opportunities for dance only, and acting only support roles. Also, if someone is interested in backstage work, that could also be supported.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, do just ask, I'm happy to answer/talk with you.

Kind regards,

Katie Hanson

Jumpstart Camp

Homeschool Meet

So the good news is that this get-together is coming up in a couple of weeks, on a Monday arvo. Bring yourself, the family, some food to share and any resources, curriculum, bits & pieces you think may be of use to other home educators & feel free to invite anyone you know that is considering the possibility of home education.

If you are selling something, please put a note on or beside it to make it clear what it is & how much you are hoping for.

I have heaps of alphabet and activity sheets that remain unused, to give away & I'm pretty sure I am not the only one with stuff that was helpful at some stage, but is now needing to find a new home.

There will be a shared afternoon tea & plenty of things to discuss, & friends made/visited I am sure! Amongst other things, Marion Digby-Smith's idea of Greymouth home edders going to the swimming pool once a term as a social event;
The possibilities of a home ed co-op & what could that look like? With sheets to register interest for each, & maybe a little bit of a Q&A session with friends & acquaintances who are thinking of trying out doing home ed.
If you are able, please note any Community resources, courses,events or anything that would be great to include in the run-down of such things that I hope to compile for everybody's use.
Plus any other ideas anyone has dreamed up or wondered about.

Hoping to see you there, I hope the year is starting off mostly smoothly for everyone,
sincerely, Elizabeth Trip.

Now that we've moved down here, I want to start a food-cooperative with an organic food company so that we can get organic food at trade prices. There are a few conditions to meet, one of which is a minimum monthly order so I need a few other people to join me on this, to make the food co-op work. Do you know anyone who would be interested in joining an organic food co-op? 

Kind regards,
