Dance off

Just occasionally I get a message that is so juicy that I don’t have to comment on it. I can just add it to my blog in it’s entirety and let the universe out. Such a one I recieved today;

“Dear Parents and Carers,

In the last few days of term 1 it was brought to my attention by a number of parents and students that there has been some peer pressure to have a date as it were for the end of year dinner/dance.

I would like to clarify that the end of year event for Year 6 is a dinner/dance(not a formal)where all of the Year 6 students gather to celebrate their end of primary school. They celebrate as a year group with the teachers and then the parents arrive for the last half hour to join in the celebration. This is an occasion where everyone dresses up in smart casual dress(nothing formal). The whole idea is to have a fun and memorable evening with friends and family.

Please speak to your child about the importance of keeping an appropriate perspective related to these events throughout the remainder of the year. It is imperative that your child remains focused on their school work in order to be prepared for high school.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Kind Regards,”
