CULTURAL FESTIVAL
Celebrating cultures represented at Albany Primary School
Shared Food and Albany Talent - Cultural Items
Proposed date: Friday 7th November 6.00pm-7.30pm
Rainsaver date: 14th November
Dear parents/caregivers,
We have over 40 ethnicities represented at our school and want to once again provide an opportunity to embrace our diverse cultures through our Cultural Festival. The goal of the evening is to share the richness of our many cultures through food and performances.
The festival will be held on the evening of Friday 7th November with a rain saver date of 14th November.
At this stage, we are seeking an expression of interest only as to the viability of holding both cultural performances and a shared food festival.
Albany talent - cultural items
For the cultural performances the school will provide a small outdoor stage, microphones and sound system, with a host / MC to ensure we follow the timed schedule of performances. Performances are limited to 5 minutes each, including time for set up (therefore music/performance will be limited to 3 minute max).
If you are interested in arranging for your child / group of children performing a cultural item please complete the expression of interest form.
Shared food
The school community is able to pre-purchase $10 tickets for 3 sample tasters. Each ticket holder will be provided with a small container in which the stall holders will place a sample food portion (approximately one cup measurement per taster). As it is a ticketed event, the school will be able to offer some reimbursement to stall holders.
If you are interested in providing food to share, we request that you complete the expression of interest form. From this information we will be able to connect you with other families from your culture, either via email or at a meeting held early next term in our staffroom, to work together on your country’s stall to provide a culinary ‘tour of the world!
If you require further information about this event prior to completing the expression of interest,
please contact Jan in the school office,
email jmunroe@albany.school.nz or phone 09 415 9668.
We would appreciate your response by Friday 28th August.
