Peakhurst West Public School

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (19:43:10):

I acknowledge the 44 year 6 students from Peakhurst West Public School who graduated last year as the class of 2020. It was a difficult year for students, given the effects of the COVID‑19 pandemic and the many disruptions to their learning schedule that came with it. Despite those difficult circumstances, the students have still managed to achieve some terrific results and I know that all of the staff and students at the school are very proud. I make special mention of two students in particular, Shadi Soueid and Maya El Zein, who were the recipients of the New South Wales Parliamentary Award for their school in 2020. This award honours the social and academic achievements of those students throughout their seven-year tenure at Peakhurst West Public School. I have no doubt all of the students have had an excellent transition into high school this year and that they will go on to achieve many great things into the future. I wish everyone at Peakhurst West Public School and these alumni the very best for a great year ahead.
