1 TTW End of Term Newsletter Summer 2015 Tra The Theatre Workshop End of Term Newsletter View this in your browser Welcome to the end of the Summer Term 2015! Please note that the dates for next term are w/c Monday 14th September to w/e Sunday 6th December. It's hard to believe that we have already reached the end of the summer term! I must start by saying how INCREDIBLY proud we are of every single one of our students for such incredible performances in 'Back to the Musical'! The hard work that the students put in over the last two terms has been incredible to watch, and we hope that everyone feels a huge sense of pride and achievement. The focus in school sessions for next term will be on developing technical skills and technique in all disciplines and continuing to build trust and support within the group. Students will have the opportunity to explore a variety of styles in all three of their classes. The pressure will be off and we intend to have lots of fun! 1 of 8 07/07/ :10
