People you meet at the Oxenford Men’s Shed. Mister Kill, my year 3 Teacher!!! David Kill was the coolest teacher ever!!! He had a talent in making learning fun and interesting. Hopefully his grey hair wasn’t a result of teaching me.

Gaven State School Annual General Meeting. After 13 years as P&C President, Katrina Dunbar is stepping down. It is the end of an era and it will be strange not to have Katrina running the P&C. Congratulations newly elected P&C President Cheryl and team. 2023 will be a great year for the school.

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.
