Our "Class Dismissed" screening never happened due to a mix up-looking into rescheduling that. Arden's birthday was on a weekend that was cold and wet, which is unusual for here, and so resulted in all our plans being rearranged. On the whole he took it well- as he was very much looking forward to his first Christmas pageant that day. Instead we had a late night movie run with "Back to the Future part 2 and 3".
Willow and Gabriel performed in "Clowns vs Ninjas" with their circus school, and that was fabulous! All the people involved pulled the show together into a really amusing and entertaining performance. Willow had hurt her foot the night before, and still managed some of her parts, which I imagine was a great relief to all involved.
We also had our home ed review and received our exemption for another 12months, and Willow auditioned for WAAPA, and was told that she had missed out this time around. She's feeling philosophical about the whole thing, and is looking at it as a learning opportunity for applying this year.

2025
We didn't continue with circus after the next year, I seem to recall, so Arden didn't get to perform in the Christmas pageant.
When we visited WAAPA on their open day, Willow was told that it was unlikely she would get offered a place at 16, as the voice continues to develop as people mature. We decided that it was worth going through the process anyway as it would help her to understand what to expect.
She was also lucky enough to be going there monthly to listen to lectures, as she was offered the opportunity on the Open Day. So from about mid year 10, she would go down once a month and listen to some of the lectures.
