Cedar Choir Thank Mrs Tina

Thank you, Mrs Martina Gawro, for the beautiful way you conduct our choir with such a gentle and angelic voice. Your guidance, encouragement, and dedication have brought us together and helped us sing in harmony and with joy. We are truly grateful for the care and commitment you have given to our choir, and we wish you every happiness and blessing as you welcome your new baby.

In choir at Antonine College, I have had a wonderful time singing with Mrs Tina. She is a great teacher who taught me how to use my voice and learn many new songs. One of my favourite songs to perform was "O God, I Am an Empty Scroll." Every time I sing this song, it makes me feel full of joy and very happy.

Mrs Tina is very kind and helped me understand the music better every day, but she will be leaving us soon because she is having her first baby boy! To celebrate, Sister Veronique helped the whole choir prepare a special party for her. I have learned so much from Mrs Tina, and choir has truly been the best part of my school week. I encourage all of you to join even if you have never sung before.

We just want to say a big and heartfelt thank you for everything you've taught us in choir. You didn't just teach us how to sing beautifully, but also how to sing with confidence, expression, and joy. Every lesson with you was something we looked forward to, and you made choir such a fun, safe, and inspiring place for all of us.

Your kindness, patience, and encouragement have meant so much to us, and we will truly miss having you as our teacher. You've helped us grow not only as singers, but also as people, and that is something we will always remember.

We are so incredibly happy for you as you start this new journey. Congratulations on your baby boy! We hope he is healthy, happy, and fills your life with so much love and laughter. He is so lucky to have such a caring and amazing mum.

Thank you again for everything you've done for us.

We will never forget you and the memories we've made together in choir. We wish you all the best for the future, and we hope you come back to visit us someday!

I just wanted to tell you how much you mean to all of us. Being in your Year 5 class was really fun, and I felt so grateful that I got to be taught by you. You didn’t just teach us lessons from books you taught us how to believe in ourselves, how to be kind to others, and how to never give up even when things felt hard. Your classroom was always such a happy, welcoming place, full of laughter, support, and encouragement, and that’s why everyone loved you so much. You always made learning fun and interesting, and you took the time to help each and every one of us feel confident and included. No matter what kind of day we were having, you somehow knew how to make it better. Your patience and positivity made such a difference, and we will carry those memories with us for a long time. Even though we’re sad to see you go, we’re also so excited for you. You put in so much effort, care, and love into teaching us last year. We will truly miss you more than words can say. Wishing you happiness and so much joy with your new baby. lots of love and gratitude.
