What a wet and wild week it has been! I hope none of our NAPA families have been too badly affected by the cyclone. As you would have seen in our email tonight, we have sustained some minor damage to the studio, so I have made the call to stay closed tomorrow. With the amount of water around and with the nature of our facility, I do not want to risk it. The safety of the kids and staff is the most important. I will be emailing some individual classes with some make-up lessons that will take place, but most classes will be made up in extra rehearsals for end of year productions.

Week 5 already?! This term is just flying by. I can’t believe it is March already. Kimberley has sent out your monthly statements, so please ensure you check these over and check in with her if you have any issues. This newsletter has a few reminders, so please ensure you’re reading over these and taking note of important info. Have a great week everyone!

Welcome back to Week 4. Lots of amazing things to be proud of this week, with our students kicking goals inside and outside the studio! A lot of these achievements are posted on our social media, so make sure you jump on and give us a follow on all our platforms.

Welcome back to Week 3. Everyone seems to be settling into their classes beautifully and the teachers are all giving me great feedback on how everyone is going. It’s been such a lovely vice around the studio, and I’ve loved seeing how welcoming our current students have been of our new students. Well done cherubs!

Week 1 done! It was an amazing week and we loved meeting all of our new families and seeing lots of happy smiling faces around the studio!

Welcome back to our returning NAPA families and hello to our new families! We are so excited for an amazing year of learning, growth, and opportunities. It is a chock-full year, and we can’t wait to see all our students continue to flourish, doing what they love. This year we will have 5 youth musicals, 2 youth plays, 2 NAPA Ensemble musicals, 2 NAPA Ensemble plays, 3 dance concerts and our Performance Teams will attend 2 dance competitions. On top of this we will be looking for other performance opportunities for our students, so they can experience some real-world experience in a non-competitive environment, where the focus is on performance experience over ranking.

Wow! Our final week of term is here, and what a year it’s been! We could not be prouder of everything the children have achieved this year both at the studio and on stage. The growth is what we are always proudest of and seeing them kick goals throughout the year has made all of the NAPA teachers so proud.

The end of year is approaching fast! Please ensure you read our whole newsletter today as it has lots of important information for end of year events.

We are officially half way through Term 4. Hasn’t this year just flown by! There is a lot to celebrate this week with the completion of Minefields and Miniskirts and our Musical Theatre and Ballet Exam results arriving, as well as a lot of information on other events.

IT’S SPOOKY SEASON! Happy ‘Halloween week’ to those who celebrate. This year we will be celebrating by having a dress up competition!

Welcome back to another week of rehearsals, performances, and exams! No rest for the wicked, so they say!

Welcome back to another busy week! This week we have High School Musical opening and our RAD Ballet Exams. Chookas to all! Lots of info this week, so please read right through.

I hope everyone had a lovely long weekend and enjoyed the sunshine! Our High School Musical cast and teachers had a big day of rehearsals, and the show is looking wonderful!

Welcome back for Term 4. I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday break and are ready for a big final term! Lots of news this week, so please take time to read.

End of Term 3 is upon us! That means it’s time for our Broadway Tweens to take to the stage in The Wizard of Oz. Good luck cherubs!

Wow, I can’t believe it’s already September and Term 3 is nearly complete! Time flies when you’re having fun. Not too much news this week, but some exciting announcements!

Welcome back for another busy week! Picnic at Hanging Rock finished up and we now begin to prepare for The Wizard of Oz. There is a lot of information being sent out to our production classes. Make sure you stay on top of emails, so you don’t miss out on any information.

Welcome back NAPA Family. Week 2 at Gold Coast Eisteddfod Dance Groups has concluded, and our final dance comp for the year is officially done. Our Senior Performance Teams had great success in some very competitive sections. The feedback from the judge was excellent and confirmed that our students are getting the best training and have amazing teachers helping them to fulfil their dreams.

Welcome back NAPA Family. Week 1 at Gold Coast Eisteddfod Groups has concluded, and we are so proud. Our Performance Team had great successes, but the most important thing is that every time they attend another comp or performance, they learn another lesson. Whether that be helping a student improve their stage confidence, learning to do their own make-up, implementing notes or feedback given during class, or just improving on the last performance! We are super proud of the high quality of our NAPA groups, the discipline our students show on and off stage, and their love of dance and passion for performing.

August is here! Which means our busiest month has begun. This weekend saw our Pre-Senior Acting class hit the stage with ‘The Con’, and our 12’s Small Group Team performed at The Flow City Convention at Miami Marketta. The next two weeks will be filled with Gold Coast Eisteddfod Group sections and then finally we will see our Senior Tread the Boards class in the Australian Classic ‘Picnic at Hanging Rock’. What a busy time!
