Perfromance Thank You

Dear Community,

Congratulations to our students, whose efforts made this wonderful and entertaining performance possible. We are truly blessed to have so many talented individuals at St. John’s, each contributing to the resounding success of this event. 

Thank you to our dedicated school staff for always striving to provide the best for our students. Your commitment, including the sacrifice of your own family time to support and prepare your students, is truly appreciated. Your unwavering dedication makes a significant difference in their lives.

Thank you also to Elizabeth Whiting, Connie Bandiera, Melanie Sharples and Leanne Bradley in the office for supporting organisational and operational aspects of the performance.

I extend my appreciation and thanks to Judith Weir, Principal OLMC for allowing St John’s to use this magnificent facility and to Marie Jenkins, Gavin Hocking and staff for their support as we used the OLMC theatre and gym.

A special thank you to Mrs. Maria Buttifant and her incredible team of volunteers, Grace Lew Kew, Dillion, Bronte and Chloe Livy. Your enthusiasm for performing is truly contagious. At the start of the year, Maria came to me with a vision for tonight, with a central focus on ensuring that every child had the opportunity to shine. Thanks to your dedication, that vision has been realised.

I also want to extend my gratitude to Vassie Catalano and Caitlin from Studio V for the countless hours spent collaborating, developing choreography and going the extra mile. Your passion for performance, patient and positive encouragement, have culminated in a captivating show. 

What would St. John’s do without our incredible PIC members? You not only excel at fundraising events but, more importantly, you play a vital role in fostering a strong and vibrant community culture. Your dedication and hard work are truly invaluable. 

Thank you everyone for a wonderful performance of our students talents and learning powers.  As the opening show song said "It certainly was a great night".
