  We are looking forward to hosting this exciting event on

  The majority of models will be children and we are on the lookout for models for the evening

  (2 boys and 2 girls from each year group).  If you feel that you would like your child to be involved, please indicate your interest by completing and returning the tear off slip below, or by informing the school office, by Tuesday 1st March.  Names will be drawn in Assembly by Mr Gourley.

   

  If your child is involved on the evening, you will initially have two tickets reserved for you to purchase if you wish (priced at £5.00 each).  It is essential that at least one adult purchases a ticket and accompanies the child in order to assist with dressing, make up etc.  Depending on demand, more tickets may become available in the run up to the date.

   

  There will be a couple of practices after school prior to the event - these dates and other details will follow in due course.

   

  Thank you for your continued support.
