On Friday I had the pleasure of attending Tulliallan Primary School's assembly and leadership award ceremony. Tulliallan is the largest primary school in my electorate and the second-largest primary school in Victoria. I was honoured to address the students and speak to them about the importance of leadership roles within their school. These students will learn the traits of leadership, responsibility, humility and duty, which will serve them well into the future. This school serves as a sample of the community I represent. As I looked out to the students and their proud parents behind them, I saw many different faces looking back at me. They all learn together, play together and grow together as one united and diverse community. Nothing makes me more proud than seeing successful examples of Australian multiculturalism right before my eyes. I thank the principal, Kathryn Sharp, for inviting me and the school staff for educating the youngest residents of Holt.
