There truly aren't enough words to express how grateful we are for our incredible Miss Kiara. ๐
For the fourth year in a row, she has dedicated countless hours to organising an interstate competition trip for our Riverside competitors and their families, and this year's Sunshine Coast trip was nothing short of amazing.
Throughout the year, Miss Kiara has spent her days off planning every little detail, organising fundraisers, researching accommodation and transport, arranging one-on-one lessons, and giving so much of her own time to ensure every competitor had the best possible experience. She organised countless fundraising events to help cover accommodation and competitors' airfares, planned fantastic team-building activities including an escape room, organised a family day at Australia Zoo, and even arranged private coach transport to and from the airport and accommodation. ๐ฎโโ๏ธ๐จ๐โ๏ธ
On top of all of this, she continued teaching her regular classes, raising her beautiful son, Bodhi, and somehow still found the time to answer endless questions, organise schedules, and be there for every single competitor. From the early mornings to the late nights, she gave everything she had to make this trip run seamlessly and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Miss Kiara, we love and appreciate you more than words can say. Your dedication, passion and commitment to Riverside and every one of your students is truly something special. We are so incredibly lucky to have you, and we can't wait for many more interstate trips in the years to come. ๐
A huge thank you also goes to all of our wonderful competition families for your support throughout the trip. Whether it was helping with fundraising, cheering everyone on, or looking after Miss Kiara's and Miss Krystal's little ones on competition day, your kindness and teamwork never went unnoticed.
A very special thank you to Miss Chery for all of your help with hair and makeup, and for caring for both babies while Miss Kiara and Miss Krystal were busy with team-building activities, rehearsals and competition preparations. Your support meant the world.
And finally, to our incredible competitors โ thank you for your hard work, commitment and determination all year long. Seven days a week of training is no small feat, and every one of you stepped onto that stage with courage, confidence and heart. You all performed beautifully, looked absolutely incredible, and danced with the confidence we've never seen before. No matter the results, you made us all so proud. ๐
Thank you again, Miss Kiara. None of this would be possible without you. Your selflessness, passion and unwavering commitment to your Riverside family is truly out of this world. We appreciate you more than you'll ever know. ๐
Love Miss Krystal ๐๐
