Congratulations also to those who were part of the crew. Without them, the show would not have been possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I extend my gratitude to the support of Dr Ireland and the staff who assisted with supervision and running the refreshments bar at the performance. My thanks goes to our ex-students, Olivia Enright, Ashleigh McCurtayne and Esther Monk who assisted in the choreography. A particular thank you must also go to Mrs Caroline Marsh, Ms Monique Shippen, Ms Christina O\u2019Neill, Ms Robyn Purcell, Mrs Wendy Chappell, Mr Sam Burridge, and additional music staff, for their work in their specialised areas; and finally, to Ms Jo George and Ms Emma Hughes for the many, many hours of our work together not just at the rehearsals but also in our planning meetings over the
