Check out the really sweet letter and pictures Variety received from the lovely students at Cyril Jackson Senior Campus!

Variety – The Children’s Charity have generously made funds available for Black Swan’s Bus Sponsorship initiative. Variety and Black Swan work together to provide transport and theatre tickets to schools who might not be able to expose their students to theatre otherwise.

To Variety

Thank you very much for being so kind to us. Thanks for providing transport and allowing our excursion to happen! Without your generosity the excursion could not have taken place.

We had a wonderful time in the theatre, the Black Swan State Theatre Company were really fantastic.

Students at CJ come from such a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures, and some of us had never even been to the theatre before. The play was so inspiring and a great and worthwhile experience for all of us.

Thank you for contributing to our education and experience!
