Grade 9 Drama - Commedia Dell'arte!

This term, the Grade 9 Drama class has begun exploring Commedia Dell'arte - an Italian theatre style developed in the 16th Century.  Commedia uses a number of stock characters to tell short, improvised stories, usually revolving around money or love gone wrong.  Some of the masked characters include Pantalone - a creepy and rich old-man, the Captain - a self-absorbed soldier who is actually a coward, and Zanni - an absent minded and lovable servant.  Stay tuned for upcoming performances!

Principal's List and Honour Roll 
Honour Roll

This week, we celebrated the academic achievements of our students who had attained Honour Roll and Principal's List standing for Term 1. Students on the Principal's List have straight 'A's'or a minimum 90% average, and Honour Roll recognition is given to students who achieve a minimum 86% average in all subjects.

On Wednesday, in keeping with school tradition, students on the Principal's List we treated to lunch with Head of School, Russ Klein. Today, both groups of students had their photos taken for display in the school's entrance.

Congratulations to all students (Click here for list) for their excellent effort!
