Recently I visited Carlton South Public School in my electorate, to meet with the P&C. Of course, Carlton south came into the Banks electorate after the recent redistribution. It was good to get along and have a chat with the members of the P&C just this month.

One of the big plans of the P&C at the moment is for an outdoor covered play area. It is very much needed, and it was good to discuss that issue. This is a particularly active P&C. It has raised many tens of thousands of dollars in recent years for the school community, working on projects such as the installation of new interactive smart boards and increasing the amount of air conditioning in the school.

I would like to thank the principal of Carlton South Public School, Darren Galea, and the members of the P&C who I met on the day—Andrew Karamitos; Heidi Breeze, the vice president; Deanna Heffron, the treasurer; and Lisa Laaman, the fundraising coordinator—for their contributions at Carlton South Public School.

Carlton South Public School has over 600 students. It is one of the largest of the 50-plus schools in the Banks electorate. I very much enjoyed the morning tea and chat with the P&C, and I look forward to working with them further in the future.
