Thu 01 Mar 2018Miss Campbell's were very busy all day on Tuesday working with professionals from Arts Insight. It was the first day of rehearsals for their performance of a show called 'Cirque Du Respect’ along with a class from St Joseph’s Primary School.

Today they learnt the script, cast the parts, ‘blocked’ (found out our positions), learnt songs and even choreographed dance moves!

Parents and family members are welcome to watch the show on Friday afternoon at 2.30pm in the school hall. We would love to see you there!
