Tuesday 13 October will see the conclusion to the Year 7 interdisciplinary project the Night of Notables.  For over a term students have been working towards this evening.  On display will be a range of learning activities including a research essay, a poster, an essay abstract, a timeline and a range of open-ended questions.  

Each student will assume their notable character for the duration of the evening and will interact with visitors to their display to demonstrate their understanding of the life and achievements of this character.  The criteria were amended this year to include only deceased notables from a range of fields including science, philosophy, art, sport, writing and acting.

The evening will commence with a performance for parents in the Pavilion.  A selected number of students from each Year 7 class will perform in a play which gives a snapshot of some of the many and varied characters on display during the evening.

Nibbles will be provided and drinks will be available at bar prices.

Parents will then be invited to move to the Perry Building where they will be able to meet and interact with the 150 notable characters on display. Parents and visitors are encouraged to select questions from the question boxes and take a moment to engage the character in
some dialogue.

Throughout the evening students will be assessed by their tutors in a number of areas including costume, display, knowledge content and interaction with the audience.

By now all parents should have received an invitation from their son or daughter detailing the procedure for the evening.
