Peakhurst Public School Care Packages

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I rise to acknowledge the incredible fundraising efforts of the Peakhurst Public School community under the extraordinary leadership of the Executive team and student leaders. During these unprecedented times, the staff at St George Hospital have been placed under additional levels of stress whilst working selflessly on the frontline of this pandemic. In response to seeing the tireless work of the local nurses, doctors and admin staff, the students and staff at Peakhurst Public School led a drive for donations to create care packages, aimed at brightening the day of those who work so hard to keep us all healthy. The school community came together to deliver 105 care bags and 30 boxes of drinks to the staff at St George Hospital, with each bag containing a unique letter of gratitude from a student, which I am sure will be gratefully received by the St George Hospital staff. I would like to congratulate all the school leaders who came forward with this successful initiative and the staff of Peakhurst Public that facilitated this campaign, notably, Principal, Ms Sally Lawson and Deputy Principal, Ms Coralie Bray.
