NAPA News - Week 6, Term 4, 2024
We are officially half way through Term 4. Hasn’t this year just flown by! There is a lot to celebrate this week with the completion of Minefields and Miniskirts and our Musical Theatre and Ballet Exam results arriving, as well as a lot of information on other events.
Minefields and Miniskirts
What a stunning performance from our 3rd year NAPA College graduates. These girls have worked so hard over their time at NAPA, and this was a beautiful way to shine a light on that growth and development. All 7 of our girls displayed authentic and heartfelt performances of these real-life stories and brought the audience along on an emotional journey. Well done Miss Amy! Your work with our students is so appreciated and it has been so wonderful having you back in the NAPA family this year.

It’s seussical week!
Our Broadway Kids are gearing up to hit the stage this weekend! There are a few tickets available but get in quick as these will sell quickly.
Parents - please ensure you are staying on tip of your emails this week, as Miss Laura will be keeping everyone updated of any changes.
Monday rehearsal - please bring all costume/shoes/stockings as we will rehearse in costume. If possible, please do hair, so that we can wear our hair accessories.
End of year awards
I hope everyone received my email with the dates and times for our end of year awards and presentations. We have had to split this up this year, as we cannot fit everyone in on one night anymore. These presentations will be a lovely, laid-back event, where we can celebrate the children’s achievements for 2024. For those who are new to NAPA, each child receives a certificate for their completion of their training - Acting, Musical Theatre, Film and TV and Dance. We will also be presenting a Star Award for each class, along with our new Studio Spirit Awards for students who have gone above and beyond at the studio in 2024. Please note, your child must have attended classes until the end of year to qualify for their awards. If a class was dropped after a show, students do not qualify for a certificate. The certificate is to award them for finishing the course, not for participation in the production. All fees must also be paid for students to qualify for awards. If you have any questions surrounding fees or our awards, please email Kimberley at reception.
