It is with great sadness that we write to you all about the passing of one of our former members Christopher Banks. Chris was such a lively figure during his time on our team with a unique personality and perspectives on the world around him. You could always count on Chris to spark an interesting conversation.

And at Newton South, last month, we saw Victoria de Oliveira Silva finish fifth while Seba Ismail and Anthony Insogna reached Semifinals in Poetry Reading; Marcus Evans snagged 2nd in Impromptu and MINNAH SHEIKH took 1st in Declamation! Something about green hair in my future from that...
