Last Sunday I had the privilege of attending the official opening of the early learning and community centre at Tenison Woods College in Mt Gambier. The opening was conducted by the most Reverend Philip Wilson, Archbishop of Adelaide, and attended by other representatives of the Archdiocese, education representatives and principals from all sectors, my state colleague Mr Troy Bell, parents, community members and others responsible for the building's construction.

As an old scholar, this was a particularly special occasion for me. The new $2-million facility had its first little learners walk through the doors in late April following a 33-week construction period.

This is a wonderful facility for the people of Mount Gambier and for the south-east of South Australia and will complete Tenison Woods College's whole-of-family approach from early childhood to year 12 and beyond. I congratulate the principal, David Mezinec, and all members of the Tenison Woods community: may your light continue to shine.
