Dear Elections Candidate,

1 Just in case we were unable to pass the materials to you, attached are the two documents we gave out at school.

They include:

1. Pen Portrait

2. Guidelines to writing Pen Portrait and making Campaign Speeches

The Pen Portrait is for all, so do complete it over the long weekend, and it has to be up on the boards in the canteen once school resumes next week.

2 Please be informed that there will be no more campaign speeches, and that the campaign period has been extended to the next two weeks (Term 3 Week 2 & 3) July 6th to 17th.

3 Finally, don't forget, your campaigns do not just encompass these Pen Portraits, so please do make sure you do your utmost to fully utilise the boards set up in the canteen. You are also strongly encouraged to engage in other campaign strategies!

Please be as creative as possible, and don't limit yourself to just campaigning in school.
Some examples:

- put up posters (only at the boards in the canteen, but priority goes to Pen Portraits)
- set up a blog
- distribute flyers/posters to your level mates
- or any other ways to 'advertise' yourself to your friends
- form a campaign group with your fellow candidates - two's a company, three's a crowd!

If you've got any questions, feel free to contact us :)

Cheers,
31st Elections Committee

hello councillors!
zeming wishes to organise concert outings! (:
the following are the details and do reply to this by tagging on the tagboard to show your interests :D
please help the message around!

1) Gala: Gennady Rozhdestvensky (SSO)

DATE
16 Oct 2009
Fri, 7.30pm

Gennady Rozhdestvensky, conductor
Sasha Rozhdestvensky, violin
Viktoria Postnikova, piano

BEETHOVEN
MENDELSSOHN
BRAHMS Leonore Overture No. 3, Op. 72b (14’)
Concerto in D minor for Violin, Piano and Strings (36’)
Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98 (39’)


Mendelssohn’s concerto for violin and piano was composed when he was just thirteen years of age, but lay sadly ignored until resurrected by Yehudi Menuhin in 1952. The evening closes with Brahms’ Symphony No. 4, one of the masterpieces of the symphonic repertoire with a gripping conclusion that has the same air of inevitability as Beethoven’s Fifth.”

Student priced tickets are $10.50, Cat 6. Not sure whether I can get a bulk student purchase of Cat 4 tickets, will buy Cat 4 if I'm allowed.

2) Beethoven Festival: In Good Company (SSO)

DATE
4 Dec 2009
Fri, 7.30pm

Lan Shui, conductor
Mari Kodama, piano


BEETHOVEN
BEETHOVEN
BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 8 in F major, Op. 93 (26’)
Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58 (34’) Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92 (36’)
Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92 (36’)



Pianist Mari Kodama – heralded for her profound musicality and articulate virtuosity – joins forces with the SSO in Beethoven’s poetic Fourth Concerto. Two sunny symphonies flank the programme: the Seventh – a celebratory work brimming with beauty and energy – and the Eighth, possibly “the sunniest, most unadulteratedly cheerful music filled with high spirits, rowdy jokes and sly pranks”.

Student priced tickets are $7.70 (!!), Cat 6. Will also try bulk buying.

3) Beethoven Festival: Pastoral Pleasures (SSO)

DATE
1 Dec 2009
Tue, 7.30pm

Lan Shui, conductor
Emily Beynon, flute


BRETT DEAN
NIELSEN
BEETHOVEN Pastoral Symphony (17’)
Flute Concerto (19’)
No. 6 in F major, Op. 68 ‘ Pastorale’ (39’)


Nielsen’s Flute Concerto is a work bathed in shadow and emotional fragility. The concert opens with a very different Pastoral Symphony, composed in 2000 by Australian composer Brett Dean (b.1961), using a wide range of modern compositional techniques. It “is about glorious birdsong, the threat that it faces, and the soulless noise that we’re left with when they’re all gone".

Student priced tickets are $7.70 (!!), Cat 6.

thanks,
kimberly.
