uniform is worn has a strong influence on how we feel about ourselves and the ways in which we are viewed by others. Every student's standard of dress is expected to reflect well on both the individual and the School as a whole. If a student is not able to wear the correct uniform, a letter of explanation must be brought to school and presented to their Class Teacher. There is an “out of uniform” slip for this purpose in the student diary. Read more on p2.

General News Cricket Day On Tuesday the 24th of November 2009 students had the opportunity to dress up as their favourite cricket player for the day and wear a fake moustache in a parade at lunchtime.

(All winners and the amount of money raised will be published in the next issue of M.A.P.)

Creative Corner Anger

Co-curricula Music & Drama The School has set up a program for students wishing to learn a musical instrument and/or singing, speech or drama. These lessons are provided at the School, during school hours and are running on a fee for service basis. The current charge for 2009 is $23.00 for an individual lesson of 30 minutes and $15.00 for a group lesson of 30 Minutes. Group lessons are conducted only when 2-3 students are learning at the same level of competency. Drum lessons are currently $28 for 30 minutes. The program offers lessons in:            

Drums/Percussion Voice Guitar Clarinet Flute Piano Trombone Trumpet Cornet Theory Saxophone Speech and Drama

Students must provide their own instruments, though they can be hired (please contact individual music teacher to arrange hire – contact details are available from the school office). The only other possible costs are: instruction books requested by the teacher, the cost of any exams students choose to sit. A certain number of lessons are guaranteed each term and make up lessons will be provided under certain circumstances, shown on the attached application form. It is your child’s responsibility to remember their lesson and to remember their instrument. Lessons missed through forgetfulness must still be paid for as the instructor has to come in unless notified the day before. A term’s notice must be given of a decision to withdraw from the program. As the program grows every effort will be made to rotate lesson times so the same subject is not missed each week. At this stage, while numbers are small this may not be possible. Please note that students taking part in this program are expected to participate in one of the School’s bands, ensembles or in the choir.

Anger is red. It tastes like pepper. It smells like smoke. Anger looks like a wildfire Uncontrollable, unstoppable. It sounds like someone yelling, screaming. Anger feels like you want to break something.
