Excitement is building!
May 13th, 2008 by rosaliewritersI received a message from Mrs Krynen today: “Just to let you know that the ticket sales and orders for the Festival events went really well this morning! I was amazed for the first day of selling. They will also be selling after school.”
So be quick and make sure you get your mum and dad to buy their tickets to the Parents’ Night. And don’t forget to put in your orders for the launch breakfast and the pizza lunch at the same time.
Mrs Krynen also told me the Year 4s had a great time working with George White yesterday. They are writing and rehearsing a performance for the Festival Launch.
By the way, we now know who will be officially launching the Festival with a speech on Tuesday morning - Channel Ten’s sports director, Tim Gossage!
Other news from Mrs K - Mr Humbert is now back from the Solomon Islands, and has been told all the Festival news. We were hoping he’d do another audio-visual presentation for the Closing Celebration next Thursday afternoon, and he’s agreed. Teachers will be snapping away to record the Festival on film, so be ready with your best grins to make sure Mr H chooses your pics for the presentation!
Finally, the timetable will be up on the website as soon as I can get all the columns straight!
Keep an eye on the blog for news as it comes in …

All set for a great Festival, then!
I will be bringing my 93 year old mother, Bonnie (Ives) Chandler to the Parent’s Night on Wednesday 21st May, so watch out for the fiesty little old lady who used to be a student at Rosalie in 1924 - and don’t forget to say hello.
See you there.

Excitement is growing! There are now only 5 days to go until The Writers’ Festival begins. The Year 4’s have done such a fantastic job with their plays that George White has chosen 2 plays to be presented at the opening with another one to be performed at lunch time, one day!
Can’t wait to see them performed! Can you?
Did you know that 160 people have already ordered breakfast for the Opening?
Cicciobello are cooking the pizzas for our Pizza Lunch on Wednesday and already 140 students have ordered theirs!
You can choose either Hawaiian,Marguerita or Meat.
