Welcome to another week! The days are definitely getting colder, but our winter uniforms have been ordered and will be here before we know it!

ROCK OF AGES TICKETS NOW ON SALE

Tickets to our Broadway Bound Extension class production Rock of Ages are now on sale. Please note that this production embraces all things 80’s rock and has some course language, sexual references, and adult themes, so is not suitable for our younger cherubs. I would say 13+ and any younger is definitely parental guidance recommended!

BPAC SUCCESS!

Congratulations to our students for their success at the Brisbane Performing Arts Challenge. Our NAPA College student Jaeda (winner of the Senior Musical Theatre Scholarship) was invited back on Sunday to perform at the Gala, and she blew the audience away with her rendition of “My Days” from The Notebook musical. We are so proud of your growth over your time at NAPA, Jaeda. After 9 years at NAPA Jaeda will graduate this year and we are so excited to see what the future holds for her!

Congratulations to Jasmine Andrews, who in addition to her previously announced Finalist in the Senior Musical Theatre Scholarships, was also a Semi-Finalist in both the Senior Contemporary and Jazz Scholarships.

Congratulations also to Dakota Bolt who was a semi-finalist in the Contemporary scholarship and was awarded the Encouragement Award for the Jazz scholarship! This was on top of her already announced finalist position in the Musical Theatre category. Well done, Kody!

NAPA SOCKS ARE HERE!

Aaaaand they’re almost gone! We ordered 30 pairs, and they are already nearly sold out! We did not think our socks would be so popular! But never fear, we’ve placed another order and they should be here soon.

DROP OFFS AND PICK UPS

We know that drop offs and pick-ups can be tough with families having such busy lives, but we ask that parents please do not drop off young students any earlier than 15 minutes before classes, and please ensure you pick them up promptly after they finish. We do have our games etc for the kids to enjoy between classes but are finding more and more students being dropped off up to 45 minutes before their class starts, or being left for up to an hour after they finish. We do not always have teachers or staff around to supervise and we are also having issues with children disturbing our afternoon classes by playing loudly in the outdoor area. Our NAPA College students have school until 3.45pm and they are constantly being disturbed by students banging balls up against the walls of the studios and screaming loudly outside. We are also finding our young students are working themselves up outside playing in an unruly fashion, and then taking this energy into the classroom where they are also being disruptive and certainly not getting the best out of class. Please be mindful of this when you are planning your week and if you are going to be late to pick up, please call Kimberley at reception.

ACTING CLASS ATTIRE

We sent out an email a few weeks ago but would like to remind our Acting class students and parents that it is not encouraged for our actors to wear school uniforms to class. School uniforms are very restrictive and do not allow the children to move freely when acting. We love seeing our actors in their NAPA t-shirts, but any casual wear is fine with the exception of skirts and dresses. We also encourage closed in shoes, as thongs, sandals, crocs etc are also restrictive and unsafe for some acting exercises.

SUMMER SCHOOL - APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN!

We are so excited to announce that our Summer School program is back!
