Farewell
We are sad to say goodbye to three members of our team. Coach Makayla and Coach Zoe are both heading off to further their education interstate, and Coach Corinne has been offered full-time work that she couldn’t turn down – luckily though, she does plan to return to coaching in the new year. A huge thank you to all three of you for your dedication and loyalty to the Academy. We wish you all the very best for the future.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 2023 Awards Presentation and our 2023 Display Day - we wish you all a wonderful holiday season and look forward to seeing you in 2024.
