"Thank you to all the teachers, to Luke, Malcolm and of course all the kids. The mid-year performance was wonderful. My kids were still so excited after the performance, we went out to dinner and they excitedly chatted about their favourite bits, and laughing about the funny bits."

"13 long, hard and fun years I've dedicated to this school, and a whole lot of memories were made. From starting in Tinies and Primaries at the Hub, to moving to the city to be apart of Junior Team, then advancing into the bigger teams as I progressed with my learning. Mighty Good has given me an amazing amount of opportunities - I've been able to dance at the Entertainment Centre for CanDance for a Cure, dance in the Christmas Pageant, do countless dance performances, experience filming in a professional acting environment and so much more. I've met some of my bestest friends, some of which I still keep in contact with and others who I may not talk to but still have a bond with."
