Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Earlier this week we opened the application forms for students to apply for Cultural, Service and Sport Blues.  Forms can be accessed via the student homepage or the page ‘Blues Evening’ located under Informational Links to the right hand side of this page.  Applications must be made by the student using their St Hilda’s email log in details.

Applications close at 5.00pm on Tuesday 12 September.  Some dance genres have competitions and examinations later so we ask that students put in an initial application before the deadline, noting that results are pending. The site will reopen for one day on 25 September for updates to these applications.

Good luck to our students who are involved in the NZCAF Hip Hop/Aerobics Regional competition this weekend.
