NAPA News - Week 9, Term 2, 2022

In our last week of term, we have much to be proud of with so many wonderful achievements by our students. Just a reminder that classes finish on 25 June and resume on the 11 July. We hope that you all have a fabulous holiday and a big rest, as Semester 2 is our busiest time with all the productions being staged and the competitions entered. Even a theatre company is pushed to have so many productions in one year!

NAPA News - Week 8, Term 2, 2022

Only two more weeks before the end of term, the last day being Saturday, 25 June 2022. The first semester is always the more relaxed one as Semester 2 is filled with final rehearsals, productions, presentations and the major eisteddfods. So, embrace yourselves (I know we are), for life to get even busier, but rest assured the accomplishments are worth the extra challenges.

NAPA News - Week 7, Term 2, 2022

This week’s newsletter is back to giving happy news. However, we would firstly like to thank those of you who emailed us to provide support of the content of our newsletter and our studio ethos. Many expressed that they had also witnessed negative conversations and attitudes, that does not align with our expectations and standards. This confirmed to us that the message in our newsletter last week needed to be communicated and perhaps overdue. We hope to see a big change from now on and we will be in direct contact with anyone who we hear is making inappropriate comments. Bullying of any type or at any level will not be tolerated at NAPA and any time we are alerted to it in the past we have addressed it with the students involved. NAPA aims to be a happy, safe place for our students and parents.

NAPA News - Week 6, Term 2, 2022

We hope you are having a lovely week and enjoying this bout of sunshine! This week’s newsletter is not really one as such, as it doesn’t contain news. Instead, we wish to address the emergence of some negativity that Miss Lynn and I have noticed that is not in line with our studio ethos. At this time of year, when there are lots of auditions and castings happening, it can be a tough time for those who miss out. We’ve had a lot of talks around this in classes over the years and I’ve addressed these challenges again this week in classes going through auditions. So, we thought it would be a good idea to inform parents of the kind of values we encourage at the studio.

Rain Rain, Go Away, Come Again Some Other Day … But not for a while we hope. The rain has certainly made everyday life a bit challenging. Thank you for getting your children to classes under these difficult conditions. We have quite a few leaks spring up at NAPA so you may see a few buckets around. Keeping our kids and floors dry has not been easy but we are doing our best. A bit of a short news week this week.

I hope you are all enjoy our weekly newsletter, as this is our main form of communication to you. Sadly, some of our families are not reading it as we get emails asking questions that were answered in the newsletter or they miss out on events or important information. We set it out so you can easily locate the information that applies to your child. Thank you to everyone who makes the time to read our newsletter when it arrives every Monday and takes note of the information that applies to your child. It takes a lot of our time and resources to get this to you on a weekly basis, but very necessary.

We hope you are all enjoying being part of our NAPA family 2022 and starting to understand all of our procedures and opportunities. When COVID restrictions ease even more we will organise a couple of socials for our kids and parents.

So, let’s hope we can do something soon so we can get to know you all even more.

As the term draws to a close it is a great time to reflect on so many achievements over the year. We have staged four musicals, three plays, two FTV Screenings and achieved great results in all of our eisteddfods entered. Now all we have left is our Mini Dance Concert and our Neverland Dance Concert to stage as well as the last Get the Beat Finals competition for the year, held on the Sunshine Coast. In the last week of term we will celebrate and reward the achievements of our students and teachers at our Awards ceremonies. We can start looking forward to a fun and relaxing holiday.
