Dear Parent/Guardian,
We would like to invite you to our Chill Out festival which will take place on Wednesday 13th July 2011 at the school. The festival will last from 1:30 pm to 5pm in the quad, hall, drama studio and reception.
The event is free but there will be lots of stalls; food, face painting, a wellbeing area, arts industry links and games including sumo wrestling and even a bucking bronco. We have entitled this festival Chill Out as we aim to showcase students' work in the creative arts field in a relaxed festival atmosphere. This is a great opportunity to enjoy an afternoon as a school community using the creative arts to bring people together.
There will be plenty to do on the day including a gig in the main school hall, dance, theatre and street theatre acts as well as an acoustic area, for students and staff to celebrate their successes. This year departments across the school will also be celebrating what is possible creatively across the curriculum. Due to last years' success of starting in the afternoon the school has kindly agreed to start the festival in the early afternoon at 1:30 (students will register as normal and then we encourage students to stay on site untill 5pm).
We cordially invite parents, teachers and friends who will provide an invaluable audience and we guarantee you will enjoy your time at the festival. If you are not a member of our school community and would like to attend this event, please contact the school who will advise you on signing in as a visitor at this event.
We would also appreciate it if students could organise to be picked up at 5pm and provide some pocket money to support the activities and refreshments at the event.
We look forward to seeing you at the Chill Out Festival to support and celebrate the wealth of creativity we have in all its many forms.
Yours sincerely, on behalf of the Student Arts Leaders
Joya Brahmachari, Head of Drama/AST
Sarah Danes, Extra Curricular Arts Co-ordinator
