A letter from Mark Portman, Principal of Kinglake West Primary, summed up the feeling of the night.
" I would like to express our deepest thanks for the chance to attend the circus oz performance on Friday night. The performance of the Circus Oz toupe was incredible, I am still amazed at the strength and control that these performers have. I sat at the performance and, when I wasn't laughing myself, listened to the laughter and gasps from the families around me. To hear a 4 year old hysterically laughing at the girl in the chair was fantastic and may have been the tonic that so many of us needed.
As you know not only are we recovering from the Feb 7 catastrophe but we are also enduring a never ending building project that is affecting us all as well.
Thank you once again for the fabulous support that the Variety Club are giving to the Kinglake West community; the bikes, the bus and now the circus have been integral elements of our recovery and I now have a true appreciation of the incredible work that you do.
