On 17 June 2010, I visited Goollelal Primary School, a very good local school in the suburb of Kingsley in the Cowan electorate. While I was there I had a brief conversation with the principal, Greg Clarke, and the deputy principal, Kerry Hartmann. As I was leaving, I was approached by some of the students and I had a very good and quite significant conversation with three of the young ladies from the school. I would like to congratulate Lauren King, who is in year 7. She is a bit of a soccer player and, hopefully, a future Matilda. Lauren is off to Greenwood Senior High School next year. I spoke to Sariah Richard, a year 6 student and again, hopefully, a future Matilda soccer player. Sariah is off to St Mark’s next year. I also spoke to Shan Williams, who is in year 6. Shan has already distinguished herself at school as a pianist and a singer of note. Shan is off to St Stephen’s next year. This was a good opportunity to meet with some very nice and impressive young people at Goollelal Primary School. They are certainly a credit to their school and to their parents. I have also had previous contact with Christopher Greed, a prefect at the school. Together, I think they are great examples of the excellent young people at Goollelal Primary School.
