October 2012 Dear Parent or Guardian, We would like to offer our year 7,8 & 9 students the opportunity to gain a brand new qualification within the Arts (Art, Dance, Drama & Music). We are hoping to offer the choice of two courses: 1. The Arts Award Discover - Where students discover the arts through participation in different arts activities. Where students discover artists and find out about their work. Where students share their arts discovery and experiences with others. 2. The Arts Award Explore – Where students are inspired to take part in different arts activities and record what inspires them. Where students explore and experience arts organisations/artists. Where students create artistic work demonstrating skill and creativity. Where students present and share their exploration of the arts with others. Students will start with the discover award and upon successful completion of this, progress to the explore award. Both awards include curriulum lesson time and after school rehearsals. We would like to gain parental/guardian interest in these awards. There will be a cost of £5.50 for the discover award and £13 for the explore award. In order for these awards to be implemented, we need to guage how many students would like to take part in this scheme. Therefore, please can you discuss the awards with your child and return the slip below by Friday 26th October. (NO PAYMENT IS NEEDED AT THIS STAGE) If you require any further information, please contact us on the following email address: performingarts@rhyddings.lancs.sch.uk Yours sincerely
Miss A Booth
