Pupils may be taken home by parents when they leave the concert, but pupils may, if they wish, remain until 1.00pm finishing time.
Parent Teacher Meeting
A Parent-Teacher Meeting will take place on Thursday 7 January, the day before the Prep School re-opens after the Christmas Holidays. If you wish to book a timeslot for your meeting, go to your son’s classroom on Monday or Tuesday of this week and write your name on the list pinned to the outside of the classroom door.
School Christmas Concert
Concert: Final Rehearsals
Excitement is mounting as the time of the Christmas concert draws closer. A final dress rehearsal was held this morning and everything is now ready for the performance at 7.30pm this evening. Parents are asked to drop their sons to the Secondary School building by 7.10pm to give some time to get organised.
Pottery Making in Second Class
Hopefully the pottery will be dried out soon and ready to be given as Christmas presents
Parents Council Fund-Raising Dinner
The Parents Council Fund-Raising Dinner is scheduled for Friday 15 January 2010 at the Montenotte Hotel. It is hoped to have eight tables, one for each class in the Preparatory School. Class representatives will be selling tickets from tomorrow onwards (fifty euro per ticket) and hope to sell a minimum of ten pairs per class group. Tickets will be on sale in the school tomorrow, Friday from 12.30pm to 3.00pm. Tickets will also be available at the Christmas Concert on Thursday next.
Money raised by the event will fund the painting of colourful patterns for games onto the school yard. The work will be carried out by a company specialising in this kind of work. The patterns will be chemically fixed to the yard surface and will be very durable.
Hardy Boys
The frost did not stop the hardy boys from the Prep School getting on with their sporting activities on the Astroturf.
