Lion King Success

The year five and six production of The Lion King was a sell out. For the first

time all four performances were sold out before the season started.

Feedback from those who attended suggested those attending were not

disappointed. As those who attended will attest to, the production was the

culmination of so many people working together towards a common goal,

namely to provide all year five and six students and all those who attended with

memorable experiences. Thanks to our 270 year five and six students who all

contributed in one form or another. The result of their collaboration was there for

all to see.

Thank you to the large numbers of teachers, parents and supporters who did so

much to help us. So many people contributed in so many ways across many

domains. Thank you. Publicity, art/backdrop, make-up, props, costumes, extras,

backstage, lighting/sound, choreography, music and acting all came together to

form a wonderful whole as evidenced by the performances over four nights.

I could go on and on but you would probably have stopped reading by then!

Suffice to say to all involved: Thank you, thank you.

For a full thank you, please see the letter sent home to parents/caregivers of

year five and six students on Friday, on page six of this newsletter.

MAPATHON 2016

Thanks to those who have already brought back to school sponsorship money

and sponsorship forms. Don’t forget to record Give A Little fundraising on the

forms too!

Just a reminder to bring everything back by the end of this week.

All money is calculated per class and goes into the draw to win the 3 class

prizes and if we reach $20,000 Mr McGowan will ……… see below!

Total raised last week is $5,522.50

Top classes so far:

Room 36 - $357.50

Room 14 - $334.10

Room 4 - $257.90

Mapathon Incentive

If we get to $20,000 from the Mapathon to go towards the upgrade and

extension of the hall the principal has agreed to be, for one day, one of the

characters children select from the Lion King.

This means you could see at the bus bay, around the school and on the

crossing afternoon Rafiki or Mufasa or Simba, Nala, Scar............................in

full make up and costume!

All children will be able to vote if the $20,000 target is reached

Thanks for the Books!

The response from our community for our request for books was hugely

positive. It was so good we have been able to send books to the school in

Thailand as well as to Vanuatu. Not only was the quantity of books great but the

all-important quality of books was also worthy of note. As a result, we are

sending books in really good condition, with many of them being new.

Thanks also to Scholastic Books as they donated a generous amount of brand

new stock: Not self but service.

While the books destined for Vanuatu

are already on their way as a result of a

shipping arrangement involving a third

party, we are yet to identify how we are

going to get the four boxes of books to

the school in Thailand. If anybody has

any links in the international freight

business and you could help us out

Cushla in our office would love to hear

from you:

[email protected]

On the other hand, Cushla rather hopes

that if she doesn’t hear from anybody

she may be paid to take the books to

Thailand herself! Hence, you will

understand the importance of

somebody helping us out! Thanks

Changes to ezlunch Menu this Term

At ezlunch, we’re all about making life easier for busy mums and dads - so our menus are designed around guilt-free

food, ordered easily and priced so you can use it when you need it... as well as when a treat is required!

GO-DELI MENU

Introducing... COMBO BOX FRIDAY.

Designed to make ordering even faster on a Friday, the menu still has ALL the warm meals and large sushi boxes

available, but has introduced BOX COMBOS for the cold meals, snacks and drinks. One click, lunch ordered.

And even better, it’s cheaper than if you bought the items separately.

Here’s a taste...

C1 Snack Combo: Cookie, Popcorn and a Tropical Just Juice

C2 Snack Combo: Chocolate muffin, Popcorn and an Apple

C3 Snack Combo: Blueberry muffin, Popcorn and freshly washed Grapes

C4 Snack Combo: Chocolate brownie, Carrot sticks and Sassy Strawberry yoghurt tube (no sugar added real fruit)

C5 Lunch Combo: Chicken & salad filled roll with a chocolate chip cookie and grapes

C6 Lunch Combo: Egg mayo sandwich with a chocolate chip cookie, apple and small tropical juice

S2 Sushi Combo: Sushi-Chicken (3pec), cookie, popcorn and Yoghurt

S3 Sushi Combo: Sushi-Chicken & Avocado (3 pce), cookie, popcorn, yoghurt

PITA PIT TAKAPUNA MENU

fillings included in the price. Most pitas are now $4.50.

Also new to the menu is the Grilled Chicken Salad (gluten free) with three fillings included for $5.50.

Dear Parents/Caregivers of Year Five and Six Students

This will be the last letter you will receive about The Lion King Junior - I promise!

On the final night of the production we do not have a thank you speech at the

conclusion of the performance. This is for a number of reasons: We want younger

members of the audience and the students in the production to get home as soon

as possible; the speech, if made by me, would suffer in comparison to the

performance of the previous hour and 20 minutes; and the speech would be confined to the audience on the night, rather

than to everybody who has attended over the four nights - well over 1,000 people. Hence, the following is to everybody

who either attended a performance or has been associated with the production in any way shape or form.

Kushukuru Shukura

Thank you really doesn’t encompass the sentiments I wish to express regarding the support provided when

producing The Lion King Junior. Therefore, I have used a Swahili translation of ‘thank you.’ Although not as well-known

as the Swahili hakuna matata (no worries) kushukuru and shukura very much embody the spirit of what I write today.

Many people have commented to me about the quality of the production and have marvelled at how ‘the whole show was

put together.’ I have marvelled too! I can assure you it hasn’t happened by accident. Rather, the performances over the

last four nights have been the result of so many people working with purpose, skill and energy towards a common goal,

namely to provide the very best theatrical experience for every one of the 270 year five and six students and to those in

the audience.

While the script and musical score provided an outstanding basis to start our planning, everything would have remained

in print form had it not been for members of the Campbells Bay School staff and community who came together with the

aforementioned purpose, skill and energy to lift the potential of the script and the score from the page and onto the stage

with such vibrancy and professionalism. While it is dangerous to name names (in case I leave somebody out!) very public

credit must go to: Megan Simpson (extras), Olivia Byrne (advertising/publicity), Caitlin Richardson (costumes), Fred Nu’u

(props), art/backdrop (Nathan Janes), Rob Padgett (backstage, lighting/sound), Nicole Rowland/Sarah Whitaker

(choreography), Victoria Fuller (make-up), Sharon Knight (music) and Gabrielle Cunniffe (directing) for working so

collaboratively, not only amongst themselves and with year five and six students but with so many supporters of the

school. Here I refer to the army of parents and other members of the CBS staff who so selflessly contributed to the show

and this is where I will not name names as there are simply too many to mention, but you do know who you are! Thank

you - inadequate but heartfelt.

Our year five and six students performed above expectation and I do not confine my comments here to the very obvious

talent so evident every night on stage. Without the highly supportive chorus, the backstage team who worked (mostly) in

the background, the orchestra and so many others the show simply could not have gone on in the form it did.

Collaboration while striving for excellence really were hallmarks of year five and six students involved in the show. Thank

you.

We stage a show every two years for a number of reasons. Some of them are obvious such as implementing the

curriculum in terms of performance art and providing an abundance of opportunities for students to shine. No less

important are the opportunities to give students a ‘taste’ of being involved in such a production with the possibility it might

spark an interest that could lead to further involvement in the performing arts or, simply, to provide a happy memory of

involvement in the years to come.

With the hall now reverting to its former self and as we turn to the next part of the term I am hopeful happy memories of

this production will linger in the context it happened because so many people worked together with unstinting skills and

energy to make something magical happen.

With enduring thanks

John McGowan
