Part 2 – 4 Dear students, I am delighted to announce that the Social Club is back with plenty of fresh faces and ideas. As events organiser, I know my work is cutout for me my predecessor, Matt Hall, ran a pretty successful operation offering plenty of creative and educational events for the student body. I know it will be difficult to fill those great shoes, but I will certainly try. This year, we have decided to take our education a step further – we are going to engage ourselves in the books we’ll be reading. One of our set readings is Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The Globe Theatre is putting on a performance of the play in October. We felt that it would be of great educational benefit to seethe play performed. We will be posting dates and ticket sales for that activity soon. To further our educational voyage, we have also decided that the main event for the year should be a ‘Shakespeare Day’. Students will dress as characters from Shakespeare’s plays and entertain teachers, other students, parents and friends with performances of extracts from some of the famous plays. This will be combined with an evening out to a 16th-century dance where we will all dance to Elizabethan music and try typical food and drink from Shakespeare’s time. Tryouts for the performances will begin soon, so keep checking the board of announcements outside the main office. In order to fund these activities, the Social Club is planning to hold a walking event and a Craft Fair. Proceeds from these events will cover a greater part of the activities but also go towards our chosen charity. It is in the tradition of this language school to support charities. This year we will be donating to Street Kids International. Without a doubt, the way out of poverty is through a good education, learning life and vocational skills. Well, this organisation offers exactly that to underprivileged youths around the world while showing them the way to be self-sufficient and healthy at the same time. I’m sure you will all agree it is a worthwhile cause. I trust our ideas will excite you and make you want to participate in all the events. I look forward to meeting you all in a few weeks when lessons begin. Please feel free to send us your ideas or drop by our office fora visit. Yours, Sabeena Gupta Social Events Organiser
