I rise today to update the House on a number of school events across my electorate that highlight the history and the community spirit of Brisbane. Over the course of three days, four separate events were held to raise funds and to celebrate a year of achievements for three schools and a kindergarten.

On Friday, 24 July, Windsor State School held a parade for their 150th birthday. I was absolutely delighted to join with the principal, Mr Stephen O'Kane, to celebrate the achievements and the proud history of one of our oldest schools. On Saturday, 25 July, I attended the 33rd annual Red Hill Kindergarten fair, held in the heart of Red Hill at Woolcock Park. It was filled to the brim with the local community, who had come out to support the Red Hill Kindergarten. On Sunday, 26 July, New Farm State School hosted the school and wider community at their fete. I was delighted to join principal, Ms Carmel McGrath, on the day. Along with my two fellow judges, I adjudicated at the 'Best of New Farm' bake-off and jam judging competition—very stiff competition—with very careful consideration. On the same day at St Rita's College in Clayfield, they hosted their annual grand traditional fair and carnival—one of the college's premier events. I would like to commend the principal, Mrs Dale Morrow, on the hard work the college has undertaken to ensure such a successful event. I would like to congratulate all of the parents, staff, teachers and all of the P&F— (Time expired)
