03. From the Head of SecondarySecondary Newsby Renata RoweTo all Year 7 Parents you have made it! As the year draws to a close, I was thinking of all our Year 7 parents who have just had their first experience of Secondary school. It is hard to believe that the first year, often the one that you worry about the most, is coming to an end! It has been a great year for your children at school and in a few weeks they will be in Year 8 as ECP begins..... Report Writing Day - Friday 13 November. No Students attend school on this day. 04. From the Primary CoordinatorPrimary Newsby Michael HeenanOur Primary Concert was held last Wednesday. With the superb backdrop of rolling hills, huge swaying gums and an exquisite sunset, the audience was treated to many fine performances. It was at times simply breathtaking. I often marvel at the talent that is consistently displayed by the children of Ivanhoe Grammar. Congratulations must go to Ms Debra Carman and the Music department who organised such an event.
06. From the Music Department2010 Musical - The Boyfriendby Pauline Swain - Producer
Auditions for “The Boyfriend” will be on Wednesday 18 November during Change-Over Week in the MPB. They will begin at 11.00am until around 1.00pm, and students will be auditioned in groups of 6-8, to sing and act. Please look at the list of names, groups and specific times on The Music Notice Board. Call backs for lead roles will be after lunch. They may then go home if not needed for the afternoon. Students are asked to bring “something to do” as they wait, as classes won’t be running. All other auditions, ie for Chorus, will be later in ECP. Any queries please telephone Mrs Swain on 9490 3874.
