I am pleased to congratulate school leaders at my old high school, Bundamba State Secondary College. I attend there on 15 February 2011. I congratulate Andrew Peach, the new school principal who took over this year. The guest speaker on the day—in fact, the school principal for the day—was former Ipswich, Canberra, Queensland and Australian Rugby League great Steve Walters. I have known Steve for a while—he grew up in the same suburb as me. Steve assured me that he did not hand out too many detentions that day. He gave a good speech congratulating the school leaders.

I particularly congratulate college captains, John Bond and Holly Wilson, school vice captains, Sarah Bosel and Ellie Keim, the student council president, Skye Ebert, the environmental chairperson, Laikin Hutchison, and the social chairpersons, Sophie Fynes-Clinton and Rebecca Cochran. A number of other people were also involved.

I congratulate the house captains, including one particular house captain, William Stoneman, who is the captain of Wombats. William is a great young fellow. Unfortunately, he has an interesting mother who works for me as an electorate officer. Kylie does great work in my electorate and William is taking after her. He is a wonderful young fellow who works hard in his local community and deserves to be the Wombats house captain. Congratulations to all the school leaders at Bundamba State Secondary College.
