THANK-YOU! THANK-YOU! THANK-YOU! THANK-YOU! THANK-YOU!

THANKYOU… for being a part of our great school’s 40th Anniversary / Reunion celebrations. We send an enormous thankyou to our very special guest David Cohen, who, despite ill health and living in South Australia, was able to make the huge trek to Sydney to celebrate the success of his “baby”. We hope that it was evident how much we appreciate the legacy that is the school we all love and enjoy with our children today, thankyou. Thankyou so much to David Heilpern, Sarah Levett and Marc deRosnay, for sharing your inspiring stories and experiences of Currambena. It is really uplifting and we never tire of hearing these personal accounts.

Thankyou to all the kids for their great performances, clearly you all enjoyed performing as much as the audience loved watching you.

Thankyou to the staff… for all the love and creative energy you pour into the kids and the school, everyday!

Thankyou to all the parents, alumni and everyone for coming, you made the day.

Thankyou so much to all the people for bringing food. WOW! What a feast. Its just so easy to organise these things with such an enthusiast and generous bunch of families who are always willing to jump on board and contribute. It was delicious.

Thankyou to the planning team who came to meetings, and co-ordinated large chunks of the day. Thanks, Steve, Linda + Wayne for the bar, Rachel for co-ordinating the food, Tracey and Andrew for organising so much and coming in early to help set up with Steve, Rachel and David. Anne for dealing with the rubbish and recycling, Martin + Susan for the brilliant photo display, Mikey for getting the coffee cart, Ian deVulder for having all the archival footage converted to dvd so we could display it on Sunday. Kirsten Lees for the historical research, press releases and the creation of the Currambena timeline, Jason for being the sound guy, Tony for setting up the data projector, Veronica for all your support, Danni for the cake, Lynn Higgs for your compulsive raffle initiative, Olivia Higgs for accepting that there is a time and a place to put the microphone down (despite the talent), David and David – BBQ brilliance, Eduardo and Magda for all the million things you did, and thankyou to all those for hanging around to help clean it all up at the end of the day.

One thing that is abundantly clear is how much we all love Currambena.
