Winter exam session
Our winter exam session saw almost 100 candidates sitting exams in tap and ballet.
Seven candidates travelled to Livingstone to sit their ISTD graded tap exams at Grades 1-3 level and senior student Dayna Lipski sat her first vocational graded tap exam, Intermediate.
RAD ballet exams
Eighty students from across our 4 branches sat their graded ballet exams including 6 Pre-Primary candidates all the way up to 6 senior students sitting Grade 7. Three of our Majors students entered for their Intermediate Foundation exam and 2 sat Intermediate level.
Over the coming week, another 6 students will travel to Stirling to complete their Vocational exams at Intermediate, Advanced Foundation and Advanced 1 levels, and we wish them lots of luck!
You can view a small gallery of photos of our exam candidates on our CSBS Facebook page. The target date for receiving the exam results is 19 December... Watch this space!
Ballet exam challenge for the STV Appeal
CSBS teacher Amanda sat her Grade 5 ballet exam as a fundraising challenge raising money and awareness for the STV Appeal. You can find out more here...
Please visit her JustGiving page to see how she has smashed her target thanks to the generosity of CSBS students and their parents.
Fundraising Onesie Week!
Now that our winter exam session is over, we have a week of FUN ahead! Everyone works incredibly hard in preparation for the exams; the candidates, their peers, their class teachers and the parents. So, we always enjoy a fun week after an exam week to let everyone relax and have some fun before the hard work starts all over again. Our popular fundraising week includes fun classes for students, workshops with guest teachers and even classes for friends to join in! All students are encouraged to come to class in their onesie, or pyjamas, with a £1 donation toward our dance fund. The dance fund is used to subsidise events so that parents don't have to pay out continually, e.g. Sparkle Party, Choreography competition, Majors rehearsals; and to help buy equipment such as ballet barres and dance flooring. Have a great week everyone!
