Message from Heidi Ashton - JWA Interim Principal

It's all show business at JWA right now! We are busy preparing for our end of the year show - and by show I mean "SHOW" (picture sparkling lights)!!!!! The Grade 1 students wrote the outline for the play, which Richard (one of the teaching staff) then turned into rhyming couplets (he's a genius). The costumes are being made and the children and teachers are building props. Each class is practicing its own song and our actors are memorizing their lines. As with all new events, there are equal parts excitement and terror, but I have no doubt that we'll pull it off. As I was leaving on Friday afternoon, Pinyi was standing on a ladder and she and Arif were putting together an enormous tree. The Indonesian staff painted some lovely backdrops too and Roberta made a giant spider's web out of wire. We also have a student teacher, Rosie, who arrives on Tuesday. With her fine arts background we are thrilled she'll be around to support us! I will post some pictures as soon as possible.

Cannot wait to see you all in a nine weeks!
