Dear Parents,
I would like to sincerely congratulate your children on yesterday’s performance in front of the City Hall. Their effort, enthusiasm, and sense of responsibility were truly admirable, and they represented our choir beautifully.
Thank you, dear parents, for encouraging and supporting your children on their musical journey. Your support is invaluable and greatly contributes to their motivation and commitment to singing.
We have been waiting for a generation like this for quite some time, and I can honestly say that these singers are exceptional – not only talented, but also highly responsible and dedicated.
I am truly grateful for this wonderful group of young singers and for your continued support.
I would like to remind you that the students will also perform today at the Winter Bazaar and on Wednesday 24 December in the morning (just for students).
With gratitude and kind regards,
Kristina Štemberger

You are warmly invited to our first portfolio conference of the year, for which the students have selected pieces of work to share with you. You can expect your children to share their strengths, best work, the work they are most proud of, and their plans for the future.
We ask you to provide encouragement and positive feedback as your child presents their work. As other students will be conducting conferences in the classroom at the same time, we are kindly asking you to refrain from bringing other children along and to switch mobile phones off during the conferences.
As the Portfolio Conferences replace the parent-teacher conferences this month, we strongly suggest you take the opportunity and contact the teachers during their weekly individual interviews or send them an email if you have any specific questions regarding the work in their portfolios.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the event!
