Dear Families

Congratulations to students who performed in and volunteers who organised SoHo on Stage. It was a wonderful conclusion to our very successful Arts Week. We will have more on Arts Week in our newsletter next week.

We have started to distribute Volunteer Breakfast invitations; this will continue through to next week. If you have volunteered during the year and you do not receive an invitation, please get in touch; any omissions will be an oversight, not a slight. The breakfast is on Tuesday 3 December at 8:00am – 9:00am in the school hall. Toast will be available for students.

Regards

Anne Reeves

Each student is welcome to have four adult guests. We are issuing free tickets via TryBooking.com. Ticket bookings open Thursday, 31^st October. The last date for ticket purchases is Thursday, 28^th November. This ensures we have time to organise seating plans and contact families about extra tickets on the wait list.  If you require additional tickets on top of your allocated four, please indicate on the Tribooking site or email Anne Reeves (anne.reeves@decyp.tas.gov.au) with the number of tickets you require. We are unable to contact families who have not booked tickets and will be allocating unused Hall space for extra guests.

To book either use the QR Code or the link: https://www.trybooking.com/CWSSQ

Children under the age of five will need to be seated on a parent’s lap. Families with two households who wish to sit apart are welcome to have three tickets per parent, who will book their own tickets. Please email Anne Reeves if this applies to you and you have specific seating requirements.

K-5 siblings enrolled at SHPS do not require a ticket from your allocation, but when you book you will be prompted to reply if you’d like them to attend the assembly. A staff member will collect siblings from their classes.

The year 5 and 6 band groups are performing at the assembly and band students will need to bring their instruments and music sheets to school.

We have photographic permission restrictions for some students and request there be no filming of the event. You are welcome to photograph your own child but if other students are in the photograph, please do not share these on public / social media platforms.

At the conclusion of the assembly, families are invited to an afternoon tea.

Enquiries can be directed to anne.reeves@decyp.tas.gov.au

Please note that the office cannot book tickets on your behalf.
