On Friday I had the pleasure of attending the assembly of Strathaird Primary School and delivering the Australian flag. I was honoured to speak with the students about the importance of education and the value of our national symbols. The Strathaird Primary School is one of the most diverse primary schools in my electorate. It is truly a reflection of what makes our community such a warm and welcoming place to live in. As I looked at the students and the proud parents behind them, I was pleased to see how these students who were born all over the world learn together, play together and grow together as a united community.

As promised to the students from 4A, 4B and 4C, I would like to say, 'Hi,' to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on their behalf. I thank principal Mrs Julie Kennedy for having me at the school assembly and the teachers and staff for all the hard work they are doing to create a positive and impactful learning environment. Keep it up, and I look forward to visiting again soon.
