Georges River College Peakhurst – Fishtank Competition Winners

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I would like to inform the House regarding the progress of year 10 students from Georges River College Peakhurst, who participated in the FishTank competition. The team from GRC Peakhurst came up with an innovative design, titled 'Mechanically Driven Artificial Upwelling'. In a fantastic result, the students have been awarded first place within the Junior Division of the competition. As a result, the school will receive a prize of $3000, which can be used for a sustainable project of their choice. The team now have another task on their hand, which is to investigate how the funds can be used, however they have completely demonstrated that they are up to the challenge. I would like to congratulate students Abbie Clay, Tahlia Coulton, Lillian King, Abigail McKenzie, Amelia Wilson and Mya Wong, for all their hard work during the program. I look forward to visiting the school very soon to congratulate the team in person and once again, I would like to thank Ahmad Bousaleh and Principal, Diane Wilson, who both made this a possibility. I look forward to seeing where this passion takes them into the future.
