The Flagpole

Pre-Audition Meeting Monday 10 September 2018

Pupils from Years 7 to U6 are invited to get involved in any one of the disciplines of theatre making - we are looking for actors, dancers, costume and prop makers, technical and stage management crew to work in The Clarkson.

There will be an initial meeting on Monday 10 September between 4.00pm - 5.30pm and a sign-up sheet to register your interest. Auditions will be held in The Clarkson on Monday 17 September between 4.00pm - 6.00pm with any mop-ups during the following lunch times.

You can get more information from the Drama Department VLE/Drama notice board and get ahead by learning script extracts.

Prepare to shine with fine lights for a Little Shop of Horrors!

Head of Drama

Thank you for the applications for individual music lessons received to date; tuition will commence during the second week of term from Monday 10 September. The instrumental teachers will contact you in the next few days to confirm the day/time/room of the first lesson. Lessons are charged at £17.50 per half hour individual lesson. Please can all parents return the invoice payment and the ‘new pupils’ Teacher/Parent contract and Privacy Statement to the teacher by the first lesson date at the very latest.

I would appreciate it if you would encourage some practise at home before the initial lesson and ask your child to bring along a piece of music to play to their teacher (this helps establish positive relationships between pupil and teacher as the pupil is ‘in charge’ of their own learning and lessons can then progress from such a meeting of minds). All musical instruments must be clearly named on both the case (try a strong suitcase label or dog tag) and instrument, if possible, and then stored safely either in the pupil’s locker or music store cupboard in the morning. Sheet music should be kept flat in a music bag; these are available to purchase from the school shop. Instruments must not be left around school at any time.

If you have not yet arranged music lessons and are interested in individual tuition for your son/daughter then please can you contact me either by email at felicitycoulson@princethorpe.co.uk or by direct phone line on 01926 634268.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind you, particularly those new to Princethorpe College, about the wide variety of Co-curricular activities and clubs that are on offer during lunch time and after school.  Not only is it a good way to try new activities but it is also a great way to make new friends.

A list of all the Co-curricular activites can be found at the front of the Michaelmas 2018 Termly Calendar which you will have received by post during the summer.  Alternatively, click here to view an electronic version which can also be found on the Princethorpe College website in the section titled 'Outside Class'.

All sport and music Co-curricular activities will start on Monday 3 September, all other activities and clubs will start on Monday 10 September.

I hope that you have all had a great break over the summer and look forward to seeing you back and welcoming our new pupils on Monday 3 September.
