Updating contact details
Are your contact details up to date?
Sometimes we will need to contact you, including on the day that your child is absent, and if you haven’t notified the school with a reason for your child being away.
If your contact details are out of date or if you’re not sure, please complete a Change of Details Form and send to https://newtown-h.schools.nsw.gov.au/ so we can update our records and can contact you quickly when we need to.
The Drama Department has now confirmed the Audition Times for
Semester 2 Drama Companies
We are re-auditioning all students to accommodate more of our students in Years 7 and 8 who were not successful in Semester 1. Students who were in companies in Semester 1 are not guaranteed a place in Semester 2.
This means that current students as well as students who missed out first semester will all be considered for a place in Semester 2.
Students who are auditioning for the School Musical should look at their time commitments as they may not be able to participate in both the Co-curricular Program and the Musical. For Year 10 students, the Year 10 production information will be sent separately.
Students will participate in a workshop, similar to Semester 1 and will not have to prepare a monologue.
All auditions will be in A6 and A7 and commence at 3:30pm
YEAR 7 Wednesday 24 July Term 3, Week 1 A7
YEAR 8 Wednesday 3 July, Week 10 A7
YEAR 9 Tuesday 2 July, Week 10 A7
YEAR 11 Wednesday 3 July, Week 10 A6
To apply, audition lists will be available on Google Classrooms for each Drama class and students will have to collect and complete an audition form from the Drama staffroom. The signed forms will have to be returned for an offer of a place before Semester 2 is made. Google forms will not be accepted on the day of the audition.
More detailed information has been sent to parents directly via email.

Why attendance matters
When your child misses school they miss important opportunities to...
Learn
Build friendships
Develop life skills
We want to do all we can to be sure your child achieves their potential and enjoys being at school.
We know that school is the best place to learn. By attending school every day your child will get the most out of their learning and improve their career and life options.
When your child is absent, it is important that you let the school know, including the reason why, on the day or the day before. This helps make sure we know where our students are and that we can offer support for you and your family if needed.
If you are having trouble getting your child to school every day or on time, please talk to our school staff so we can work together, because every day counts.
Missing a day here or there may not seem like much, but absences add up and can negatively impact your child’s learning and wellbeing. When your child misses one day a week that’s 40 days of school and 8 weeks of learning in one year. Over an entire school journey this adds up to 2.5 years of lost learning.
