On 3 April the Albert and Logan News described Phoebe Martin, Vienna Johnson and Matilda Martin from the Greek Myth Robotics team as three of Logan's brightest minds. These girls whose ages range from 10 through to 12 have been busy raising funds for a trip to Brazil to compete in the International RoboCup in July this year. The Kimberley Park State School students won the 2013 state and national championships, putting them in a great position to take out the international title. I look forward to hearing of their terrific experiences on their return and I wish them all the best of luck in Brazil.

I would also like to congratulate the Tudor Park PCYC for the great work they are doing. Each day of the week classes are held to cater for a large number of local youth in the area. All the money raised goes back into local programs working with young people which are designed to encourage leadership in our local community.

Finally, I would like to make an honourable mention of Leanne Riley for encouraging the use of Facebookfor a great cause. Leanne has been using the page to source items for care packages and as a result has delivered some 2,000 care packages to the homeless in our community.
