Voices & Sinfonia – Theatre Rehearsal on Tuesday at Lunchtime

ALL members of Sinfonia and Voices are required for a special combined rehearsal again this Tuesday at lunchtime.  Please get your lunch immediately at 12:45pm and eat in the cafeteria.  This week’s rehearsal will take place in the theatre and NOT in the Music rooms.

 

Heating System

The cold weather has arrived. Just a. reminder that  the heating system has been  switched on (and the air-con switched off). It usually takes a little time to work out the right temperature settings, so please be patient while this is worked out. Please can everyone try to ensure the double doors are closed to try to keep the heat in.

 

Movember for the Renewal Centre pastedGraphic.png

During the month of November several staff members’ moustaches have a significance you might miss at first glance. These men are growing their moustaches on behalf of the Renewal Centre, a place that offers refuge for homeless here in Shanghai. Here is their website https://www.renewal.org.cn for further information. At the tree lighting this Friday, or anytime for the rest of the month, Bryan Fine, a Secondary teacher at CP, is collecting donations for the Renewal Centre. At RP Lynn Xie will accept cash donations for the Renewal Centre until November 30.
