New!

5 Aleph will be delivering their class assembly on Monday 26 June at 8.45am to 9.15am in the Performance Space, to which parents and guardians are warmly invited.

Attending parents must follow the current morning drop off arrangements but as you exit the drop off lanes (Zone 2), please take a left turn to park in the Zone 3 (afternoon pick up area on the field) to park, from where you can make your way down to the Dining Hall doors. You will be registered from 8.30am and directed into the Performance Space.

Applying for Instrumental and Vocal Tuition

New!

We are delighted that music plays an enriching and vibrant part of student life at Habs’ Girls, both in and out of the classroom, with a wealth of ensembles, orchestras, bands, choirs and performing arts activities on offer each week.

In addition to the wide range of co-curricular activities on offer, nearly 400 students across the Junior and Senior School have weekly individual instrumental or singing lessons in school, provided by our team of 25 Visiting Music Teachers.

Please find more information in our Instrumental and Vocal Tuition Guide here and the Tuition Application Form.

Should you wish your child to begin instrumental or singing lessons from September 2023, please complete and return the application form to Mr Tom Nugent, Music Technician (tnugent@habsgirls.org.uk) no later than Monday 12 June.

Summer Recitals

Our informal Summer Recitals are a great opportunity for pupils who take instrumental or singing lessons inside or out of school to perform in front of an audience, especially if they are preparing for an exam. Parents (two per performer) are warmly invited to attend the recitals, which take place in the Sime Hall from 2.30pm to 4pm.

• Year 5 Music Recital - Friday 16 June, 2.45pm to 4pm, Sime Hall

• Year 6 Musical Recital - Friday 23 June, 2.30pm to 4pm, Sime Hall

Attending parents please park in Zone 3, Junior School pick up area, (please reference the car park details letter you received on the 23 May), and walk towards the senior school, following signage to the Sime Hall where you will be signed in.

Coach Usage on Sports Day

THURSDAY 29 JUNE

On Thursday 29 June, both the Girls’ Senior School and Boys’ Senior School will be at StoneX Stadium for our second Joint Senior School Sports Day. They will be using the normal coach service, with the final stop at StoneX Stadium rather than school. A special coach service will be in operation on Thursday 29 June to ensure that all Junior and Prep students can still travel to school by coach. Parents of coach users must ensure they have read the letter sent by Ms Emma Summers (Transport Manager) on Friday 19 May at 5pm.

Any bookings or enquiries regarding coaches on 29 June should be sent to the Transport Manager at transportmanager@habsboys.org.uk.
