End of Term 3 2007
Thank you to all of my students to have attended and enjoyed classes and workshops in Term 3 2007.

The hard work put into preparing costumes, and practising your performance pieces, certainly paid off at the Middle Eastern Magic Teacher/Student show on 8 September 2007. Thank you all for participating and supporting this event, I hope you all enjoyed the experience as much as I did.

Term 4 commences on Tuesday 9 October 2007. I hope you all have a safe two week break, and I look forward to welcoming you to class next term.
