I'd like to congratulate Maclean High School's rowing team, which is the second most successful team in combined high schools rowing history. Over the years they have accrued 154 wins, including two boys point scores, seven girls point scores and 11 champion school titles. Earlier this year, 14 rowers competed in the 2018 Combined High School Rowing Championships at the Sydney International Regatta Centre, many of them first-time rowers. At the end of the competition, Maclean High School had amassed seven crew medals, including gold, silver and bronze, and an impressive point score to achieve third place—an incredible achievement for a team of only 14 athletes. My congratulations to Zayne Fischer, Emma Inmon, Aimee Jeffrey, Ashley Luland, April Shannon, Jacqui Samms, Katherine Behn, Ethan Davis, Andre Kendall, Lachlan Maxwell, Duncan Fischer, Stephanie Hutton, Kirilly Maxwell and Clara Samms. This team is managed by the Maclean High School rowing coordinator, Candice Jagoe. Again, congratulations to them all!

I'd also like to congratulate Pam Slade, who just recently retired after 42 years of working at the Mandarin Palace in Lismore. She was an institution at this iconic restaurant and the third generation of the family to work there. Well done!
