Mark Boothman MP Blog - Schools

Congratulations to all the Student leaders at Gaven State School. Mister Carlton was correct in his comments, you don’t need a badge to be a leader, all year 6 students are school leaders. Younger students look up to you and follow the example you set.

In between events, calling and meeting residents, I dropped of a new Queensland Flag to Helensvale State High School.

Keep the 15th of July free! Coomera State School will be celebrating their 150 year birthday. The school is planning a huge fete and celebration which will include displays, memorabilia, stalls and rides – something for the whole family. Big shout out to Kerri Underwood, Principal Nicole Page and their team of dedicated helpers. I delivered a quick speech in Parliament last night - only had 3 minutes but could have talked for hours on this magnificent school.

Congratulations Mr Patrick Innes-Hill on officially being sworn in as the Principal of Coomera Anglican College. You have a wonderful school community and am sure will continue the great work of retiring foundation Principal Dr Mark Sly.

Please take extra care around our schools. There will be many students excited to see their school friends. Plus we will have many nervous prep students, with parents close by. Please allow a little extra time when travel by our schools. Road safety is everyone’s responsible.
