Well done, congratulations to all the Band and especially Mr Hewerdine on a job well done, fantastic. The whole family sat glued to the TV, it was absolutely amazing, you have all done us proud. Enjoy Disneyland and try and sleep all the way home!
John McMahon (Jacynta's uncle)
Well done to all. What an amazing, life-changing and memorable experience that would have been. You have now done very special things and been to very special places that your peers, friends and families can generally only dream about. Let yourselves be proud!

Congratulations to you all!! We watched the service on TV and know it must have been a very moving and memorable experience. It will be difficult to "wind down" maybe, but we're sure a visit to Disneyland will help! Looking forward to a visit from the band later in the year.

To Mr Hewerdine- the contribution you have made to these young lives is immense and will stay with them for the rest of their lives. I'm a Nana and I still remember the special teachers who sent me off on the right path all those years ago. Thank you so very much- God bless
