The drama and music schedule for 2024 states that the events will begin this term.
Schools will serve as the majority of the theater festivals’ locations.
Because of this, the Ministry was compelled to change the host schools’ closing dates in order to make space for the students.
Therefore, in order to make room for this crucial activity, the chosen schools will have to take a slightly early break rather than a late one.
The closing dates will mostly affect the host schools as the rest will proceed home for the break on the official April 5th 2024. The host schools are expected to close as early as a week earlier.
New closing dates for the aforementioned schools will be communicated later as teaching progresses.
