S1	**NEW ITEM**   Dloko High School The choir from Dloko High School, one of our South African partner schools, are coming to school today to visit classes and put on special performances of song and dance for everyone at JGHS.   The performance for S1 and S2 will be at Marchmont St Giles church during period 4. You must go to your normal class at the start of period 4 to be registered. You will then walk to the church as a class with your teacher. It is really important that you arrive promptly at your period 4 class to allow everyone to get to the church on time for the start of the performance at 12:20pm.   The performance will finish at 12:45pm. S2 have permission to go home straight form the church, but S1 must walk back to Lauderdale Street with the staff.   There is no entry charge for the performance but you will be invited to donate to a collection for the choir at the end if you wish to do so.
