It’s Showtime!
We are so excited about the School Concert Performance last Thursday. Mulyan on Broadway was a huge success. Thanks so much to all the parents and grandparents who helped out with costumes and prop creation. Thank you to the many parents who helped us pack and clear the hall after the performance. Mulyan School community is very special It was great to see teachers, SAS staff parents, grandparents, students and even teachers’ husbands help us with what could have been a long hard job. So many helpers made it a breeze! Thankyou very much. Huge congratulations to Jane Jeffries and the concert committee. Many, many hours were dedicated to getting the music and video presentation just right and presenting the hall in such a professional manner. We are certainly very lucky to have such an amazing group of dedicated staff at Mulyan. Finally what I loved the most was the excitement and anticipation from students before their performance and the huge smiles and obvious pleasure that the students got from being on stage, performing in front of their families and friends. So thanks for making it such a memorable and fantastic night for our kids. Thanks to everyone who donated baked goods and helped out at the canteen. All money raised is going towards getting our students to Schools Spectacular later this year. Well done to Megan Smith who co-
