Note of Thanks

Arrival in Sydney!

What a wonderful opportunity, these 30 young men have had over the last two or so weeks. 

Thank you to the parents for giving their sons the opportunity to take this trip. 

Well done to the boys for the way they have conducted themselves. They have been fine ambassadors for their family, the school and Australia.

Thank you to the staff on this trip: Mr Richard Bishop, Mr Zlatko Arambasic, Mr  Joseph Vaccarella and Mr Jose Martinez. Thank you also to Mr David Galluzzo for his organisational efforts before the trip.

This trip has created many wonderful memories which will be discussed for decades to come. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Regards

Luke Gray
