Wow!!! As one show closes the other one opens! With our awesome production of Cats closing on Saturday, our Pre-Senior play Fairy Tale Misfits opens next Saturday so grab your tickets now for another fun night.

What a great ending to the week with top notch entertainment from our fabulous production of Cats. Congratulations to our students who gave a very professional performance and committed to their roles beautifully, even to the point of creating their own cat character make-up.

We hope you all had a lovely holiday. From what we have heard, many of you went overseas – that’s awesome! What great memories you must have created. Hard work and exciting times are ahead as we begin Semester 2, our big production time!

Happy Holidays NAPA Families!  Our PJ week was a symbolic preparation for a restful holiday. Term 3 starts back on Monday, 10 July. We look forward to a fun term of productions and performances.

Doesn’t time fly?! It’s the last week of Term 2 already!  First day back for Term 3 is Monday, 10 July. Wishing you all a great holiday!

We hope you all have had a great week! It is great to see the beautiful blue skies and sunshine, but if your child is feeling the cooler weather, we do have a few left-over sizes of NAPA sweatshirts and jackets for sale at reception.

We hope you have had a great week! At NAPA we continue to have great weeks as we feel blessed that we are making a difference in so many lives because we see on a daily basis, excitement, happy faces, enthusiasm, commitment, great work ethics, achievements, goal setting, love and friendship; all qualities exhibited during and in-between classes. We not only send out a big thank you to our teachers for creating the foundation for these emotions and behaviours to take place whilst continuing to inspire our students, but we also want to thank our parents and grandparents, who frequently help create our family atmosphere by helping at the canteen, running the barbecue, blinging costumes, monitoring playtime, helping with make-up and hair, playing games with the children, supporting them, and of course – attending performances.

This is a very short newsletter this week but contains great news!

We hope you all had a well-deserved fabulous Mother’s Day yesterday and were spoilt by our cherubs.

A fairly short newsletter this week but lots of happy news!

We hope you have all had a fantastic week. It is exciting to announce the cast of our Senior Tread the Boards play, Murder on the 518. We are now waiting for confirmation on the licence to perform our Pre-Senior Tread the Boards play and then we have completed our Playbill for the year.  All production classes will then be immersed into rehearsals during class time and extra time closer to the performance dates. Tickets will be opened for each show as we get closer to the performance dates, so please stay tuned to our newsletter each week for these announcements.

We hope you had a great holiday and are excited for another great term of learning, fun and achievements!

REMINDER: Studio closed for the next three weeks. First day of Term 2 is 17 April 2023. Happy Easter NAPA Fam!

Just a reminder that this upcoming week will be our last week of Term 1 due to the new roof being installed. The builders have promised that this will help reduce the temperatures in the studios so the aircons do not have to work so hard. Please be aware that there is absolutely no access into the building until the start of Term 2 as they will be working right up to two days before, if all goes well. So have a fun last week everyone and a fantastic holiday. Please note that teachers will be putting information on the portal for some classes or you will be receiving emails of things to prepare for next term.

Last week saw the Broadway Bound and Broadway Tweens auditions. This week we are excited to announce the casting of Frozen. It is such a hard job when we have so much talent and great efforts put into the auditions. Being in a production is so much fun and such a great learning opportunity, regardless of what role you have. So please help your child to celebrate and embrace whatever role they have been given.

We hope you have all had a wonderful week. Not a lot of news this week, just a few things to hopefully assist you in getting the most out of NAPA.

So much incredible teaching and learning is happening in our classes, it’s a joy to watch as I move around the rooms seeing the outcomes and the happy faces.

It is great to see students and teachers settling in so well into all that we are offering in 2023. New teachers give students different methods, strategies or approaches to expand their training, so it’s great we have been able to add to our already existing awesome staff. Our new parents are working hard to get their heads around all that we offer and how we operate – well done! As we are a Performing Arts school there is a lot to take in due to the fact we cover Dance, Acting and Singing, not just one area. But hang in there, it will eventually fall into place, and you will find everything a lot easier.  Just ensure you read the newsletter each week, so you are on top of all that we do.

Welcome to all of our new families who have joined us this week. Great to see everyone settling in and enjoying new skills and making new friends. Some classes have now been closed off as they have reached their peak. Students wishing to join those classes will be put on a waiting list. After auditions, Tread the Boards classes will also be closed off as roles will be given out.
