Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Murrays Bay Primary School is dedicated to giving our students innovative and creative opportunities to learn. We understand that we learn in many different ways and from many different people. During Term 3 our entire school will be participating in different passion projects for an entire week. Your child has chosen their passion and will participate in a week of learning and growing in their chosen area. This is a fantastic opportunity for different ages of students to work together and learn from each other, while possibly working with different teachers too!
 
Your child has chosen Performing Arts as their Passion Project and will participate in a 3 day, hands on learning experience from Tuesday, 31 August - Thursday, 2 September. This is a great opportunity for different students to work together and learn from each other while having fun!

Teacher involved:
Mrs Vanessa Kay

Over the three days we will be working towards writing our own musical and performing it, so the performing arts skills we will cover are:
Composing songs
Developing storylines
Creating sounds/background music
Movement through dance
Scene/set/prop design
Working together

All students will participate in the final performance of the musical in some capacity, whether that is as performer/dancer/soloist/stage manager/actor/musician/stage crew/sound technician etc.

There may be a need for props for our performance, we will send a request if we do not have the items at school to use.

COST
The costs for Performing Arts will be covered by the school’s activity fee.

We are also asking for adult helpers for the 3 days. If you are able to help please indicate on the form below.

Kind regards,

Vanessa Kay
