1. Rehearsal Schedule
• 7 weeks! Then we have ½ term and then performances are the week after!
• You MUST turn up to the rehearsal of scenes you are in.
• You MAY attend all rehearsals – they are all open! You’ll get a stronger
overview and be more involved with the creation of the work. When it is not
“whole cast” it would be great if someone can volunteer to come
watch/contribute/take notes and do a brief write up for the blog!

Timing are approximations – hopefully with focused rehearsals/workshops we can go home/finish early!
IF YOU CANNOT ATTEND A REHEARSAL:
Sickness:
When you ring to report your absence, please ask reception staff to get a message to me, so I know as soon as
possible. You can also let me know by emailing me on: hillf03@leedslearning.net If you leave school during the day
– again let me know somehow before you go!
Detentions:
This is such an important year! You really should be on it enough not to be incurring sanctions!! [You’ve just got to put
your head down for 9 months, which may seem like a lifetime right now but it will give you so many more options !!] If you receive a DT
that clashes with a rehearsal, I need to know about it ASAP! It puts a lot of work on me to reschedule the rehearsal
or to plead and become unpopular with colleges when trying to get it moved! So please, stay out of trouble – even if
you think it’s unfair, keep your head down and take one for team!!
It’s going to be great! Good Luck 
