Active Learning Week

1st

to 5th

July 2019

Message to Parents from the Principal

This booklet contains information about Active Learning Week 2019. All the activities on offer are included in this booklet. As always we aim to have an activity for everyone. Our Active Learning Week Co-ordinator for 2019 will be Mrs Rachel Pires. I am very grateful to all the staff and other volunteers who take on the responsibility for organising such an impressive programme of activities. It is a responsibility which everyone takes very seriously and issues of security and safety are an absolute priority for us. Active Learning Week for 2019 has been organised within two main areas: 1. All week activities - for those who would like to take on a weekly activity (both school

and non-school based). 2. Daily activities (both school and non-school based) - a wide range of daily activities to

take place throughout the week. Students are encouraged not to opt for the same activity two years running. A variety of experience is important. It is necessary for all students to take part in Active Learning Week. BOOKINGS TAKEN FROM 8:15AM ON MONDAY 1st APRIL 2019 - get your booking form and deposit in early to avoid disappointment. This does not guarantee a place on your first choice and, if a student is unsuccessful, their deposit is then allocated against their 2nd choice activity. Where activities are oversubscribed a draw may take place for those returning their booking forms before 9.10am on 1st April. However, students who have taken part in the activity in a previous year may not be included in the draw. It is important to stress, as we do elsewhere, that it is not possible to refund deposits once a place has been confirmed. Similarly all further payments must meet the deadlines set for each activity. It is not possible to use Parent Pay to make the deposit payment as this is required with the booking form. All further payments for the confirmed activities can be paid using Parent Pay. I am sure that Active Learning Week 2019 will be a great success. Please read the following information carefully as it provides further details of how to make your choices, costs involved, payments and an outline of each activity. If you have any queries about Active Learning Week, or would like any further details on any of the activities advertised, please ask Mrs Pires.

The only residents there are the mad scientist Doctor Prospero, his daughter Miranda, and their robot Ariel. They were banished into hyperspace when Miranda was just a baby, and she has known no other world than this. Featuring rock „n‟ roll hits of the 50s and 60s (“Great Balls of Fire”, “The Monster Mash”, “Good Vibrations”, and others), a B-movie atmosphere, and dialogue in iambic pentameter, Return to the Forbidden Planet is Shakespeare‟s unwritten rock „n‟ roll masterpiece. Throw in a roller-skating robot, unrequited love, and a scary space monster, and you‟ve got one groovy show! If you want to perform in the production you must have attended the auditions. There are also backstage roles available. Please sign up if you are interested in make-up/set design/lighting etc. This is a fun filled and rewarding week however it does require a high level of commitment.
