Dear Parent /Guardian,
Below is the information table regarding your child's
costume for their class performance item for this year's
production "Fast Track Youth" (1st November 2007, 7PM).
I encourage you to be as creative as possible with
clothing combinations and to hit factory outlets for
bargains where needed. We have a nugely supportive community
at SEPS too, so please talk to other parents to see what you
could borrow and possible loan.
Costumes are an important part of a performance, but need
NOT be expensive or items that students won't wear again. It
is up to you to see a double use when purchasing items!
I have met with parent representatives from each class
who are happy to help you with suggestions or clarify what
student needs to wear. There will also be suggestions posted
on the school webpage a a display of pictures on the school
notice board near the prep classrooms.
The students and I are very much looking forward to
showing you our fantastic work. It will be a funny,
inspiring and memorable production,
Kind regards,
Shannon O'Neill |

-
Grooming is extremely important.
Please have your hair tied back of your face (even if
you want to wear it down have your fringe or hair styled
half up/half down). Note 5/6B girls have set hair style.
Some of you will be wearing hats so make sure your hair
is styled so it sits appropriately and won't annoy you
or fall off.
-
Bobby pins and hair spray are your
friends.
-
Boys - hair gel - fantastic except
you are in a class which wears a hat - then you won't
need to worry.
-
If you have any questions do not
hesitate to ask your class parent representative or Miss
O'Neill BEFORE concert week.
-
Remember your You Can Do It Skills
with costumes. VERY IMPORTANT!!!
