Penshurst Girls Flag Presentation

Mr MARK COURE (OatleyMinister for Multiculturalism, and Minister for Seniors)

——Speaker, I rise to recognise a local school in my electorate, Penshurst Girls. I recently presented the school with several new flags, which was an absolute privilege. Penshurst Girls has been supporting women throughout the local area for over 60 years, which is a commendable achievement. Catering towards students in years 7 to 10, Penshurst Girls focuses on developing the skillset and knowledgebase of their students. This is so that when young women leave Penshurst Girls, either pursuing University, TAFE or the workforce, they might leave with a sense of intuition, motivation and the desire to become an active and engaged citizen. Presenting Penshurst Girls with new flags is one way to show my appreciation for everything they do within our community. I'd like to thank the Principal of Penshurst Girls, Noeline Ross, for everything she does for her school and this community. I would also like to thank the hardworking teachers and staff that go above and beyond for all of the students at Penshurst Girls. I look forward to supporting local schools like Penshurst Girls into the future. I hope that the flags continue to fly high above your school for many years to come.
