"Last night was a marvellous concert to farewell Jeff. The performers were gob smackingly good! The Music Department organised the kind of professional evening we have come to expect from them. If it were in the Cabaret Festival I would have paid $150 a ticket.
Well done Music Team."
Olivia O'Neill, Principal Brighton Secondary School
