Mrs Maruszak, Mrs Gilman, Mrs Groves and their respective teams for their organisation and decoration expertise. Our students continued to show what a tight, supportive group they are and how they definitely know how to have fun. Outstanding fees My last request (nag) to please honour outstanding financial commitments so we can have an accurate position to budget for next year. This may be outstanding CAMP and/or BAND fees.
