Anniversary Musical Actor Auditions!

We are calling all actors from grades 3-8 to come audition to be a part of our FANTABULOUS, WACKY, FUN, NOSTALGIC WHOLE-SCHOOL, musical event this April. Every class will be performing a musical number in this revue production; however, we will need a small troupe of actors to help tell the story in between these musical numbers.

Auditions will take place at the Port Coquitlam (Elementary) campus on Fridays, January 15, and January 29 from 3:05 – 4:30 pm. Use the SIGN-UP LINK below to book your slot. Auditions are open for Grade 3-8. Please wait outside the chapel, distanced and masked, while on the bench until you are called in to audition. You will need to prepare a one minute, memorized monologue and one minute of a song. Be prepared to sing along with the teachers at one point too! Please contact Mrs. MacLean at school or by her email (mmaclean@hopelcs.ca) if you would like some examples of monologues or songs to prepare.

** Safety Information: All rehearsals will take place in our gymnasium with actors distanced by cohort. We will be casting by cohort as part of our safety plan. Many grades will be a part of this play, but each cohort will be alone on stage or distanced from each other. Masks will be required during rehearsals. 

We hope to see you all come out for this special anniversary musical revue!  Please sign-up here: HLCS Anniversary Musical Audition Sign Up.

The club is taking place every Monday and Thursday (excluding holidays and long weekends) until June 10th, 2021 from 3:10 pm-4:30 pm. 

Students are required to bring the following items: climbing shoes, harness, and chalk (chalk bag/liquid chalk). This will ensure that students are not sharing equipment, keeping the Climbing Club as safe as possible.

The Climbing Club is limited to 15 students to ensure safety and proper social distancing. Students will be required to wear masks when belaying and climbing, and wash/sanitize hands prior to climbing. The Climbing Club will have focused training/climbing at the middle school campus, but there will be opportunities to climb at local gyms in the area, in the future. Students/parents will be expected to cover any additional costs related to these outings if the student chooses to attend.
