The Pink Ribbon Breakfast this week enabled a broad cross section of the Carey community to support our Breast Cancer Research fundraising effort. We were touched by the story of Elissa Macleod (2002) as she recounted her breast cancer challenges. We were stirred by the brave approach she has taken to her situation and in awe that she has been able to continue her tertiary studies and professional netball career despite this setback. Elissa is a courageous young woman and a wonderful role model.

With pleasure we announce the Music Captains for 2009. Victoria Garwood and Patrick O’Bryan are Captains with Jacob Curtis and Sarah Wallace as Vice Captains. We look forward to their leadership and musicianship in these roles next year.
