KD ACADEMY UNIFORM SHOP
As always, every week at the academy, all students must wear full KD uniform, bring along plenty of water to drink and also a snack for our break. Please ensure they have a pencil and notepad and remember to bring any lyrics, or scripts that have been handed out on previous weeks. We recommend having a folder to keep all of their lyrics or scripts in each week.
CHAPERONE FOR KD ACADEMY
How can you get more involved with KD Academy? Chaperoning is a vital part of putting our shows together and we reach out to all our parents and carers to get involved! If you’re keen to join us backstage for our upcoming productions, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
“Being a chaperone is my way of saying thank you to all the amazing KD staff and students who work so hard to put on a show. I know the shows can’t happen without licensed chaperones in place, so it’s a pleasure to play my part in helping get the show to the stage! It’s brilliant seeing how much the young people get from the experience – how their confidence increases, the new friendships they make with students from different academies and how much fun they have. They’re always such a pleasure and so rewarding to work with!”
“I absolutely LOVE chaperoning. All the children are great, and seeing how passionate they are about their time on stage and how well they support each other behind the scenes, makes watching them on stage in the audience even more heartwarming! I believe every parent should give up at least one of their days to experience what goes on behind the scenes as it isn’t until you’ve done this you realise how much work goes into it, not only the children but all the staff.”
