Georges River Brick Fair

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (20:14:37):

Today I congratulate Oatley Public School on hosting the successful inaugural Georges River Brick Fair, which provides students with a brick pit play area, activities and competitions as well as Lego displays by the Sydney Lego User Group [SYDLug]. The event was attended by over 1,000 members of the public, and the kids' building competition received 55 entries. The event was extremely successful and raised almost $9,000, which will be reinvested back into Oatley Public School. The event would not have been possible without the efforts of volunteers, who included community members and school families. The volunteers put in countless hours helping out on the day, providing donations to the cake stall and letterboxing flyers around the community. I had a fantastic time at the Brick Fair with my son James. We particularly enjoyed looking at the competition entries from students—particularly the Star Wars ones. We were blown away by the creativity and expertise of all those who participated in the Brick Fair. Thank you, Oatley Public School.
