Stage Challenge 2013
We would like to congratulate your son/daughter on their successful audition as a member of this year’s Stage Challenge production.
Background
Stage Challenge is a performing arts competition for students aged between 10-19 years. The focus of Stage Challenge is for students to perform at the best of their ability without the use of tobacco, alcohol or other drugs. It communicates health and social education messages to teenagers in a positive and supportive environment. You can visit for more information.
Competition Date and Venue
The regional competition is to be held on the 20thof May (Term 2, Week 3) at CBS Arena.
Commitment requirements
Cast members will be expected to attend 1-3 practices a week during Term 1. At least one of these practices will be after school but will be finished by 5pm. Important after-school full-cast rehearsals will occur during the first two weeks of Term 2.
If necessary, there will also be 1 or 2 Weekendrehearsals, however, we will release details of these closer to the time.
There will be two full day rehearsals in the school holidays. These are Monday 29th April and Tuesday 30th April from 9am-3pm both days.
As Burnside High School has always performed well in this competition, we have high expectations for our cast. We ask that if you participate in Stage Challenge that you are flexible with rehearsal times and give your student leaders your full-participation.
If your child has previous knowledge that they are unable to attend a rehearsal they must inform their student leaders or Miss Sullivan.
Parents evening
There will be an evening in the Aurora Centre on Wednesday 15th May at 7pm for family, friends and other members of the community to come and watch both the OPEN and RAW groups perform. This will be a gold coin donation.
