"I appreciated the opportunity to meet your students, they were of a high caliber....I would really like the opportunity to discuss the possibility of setting up informal meet and greets throughout the 2009 school year in a more informal setting, say during lunch hours. I am doing this at William Angliss in two weeks in the students lunch hall." Pancake Parlour - Mandy David
