Over the last week, I've been honoured to attend various community events in the electorate of Fadden. On Thursday, I attended the Foxwell State Secondary College annual awards, where we celebrated the achievements of students from years 7 to 10. I was proud to see the strong cohort of students being recognised for their efforts in sporting, academic and cultural endeavours. Congratulations to the new principal, Mrs Melanie Harth, who has only been in the role for 10 weeks but has been hard at work and is developing the senior curriculum at Foxwell for the first ever year 11 students commencing in 2024.

On Saturday, the Runaway Bay Christmas Carols by Candlelight was held to kick off the festive season. The Christmas carols are a long-running tradition, held for 33 consecutive years in the Runaway Bay community. Thanks to Councillor Shelley Curtis for helping to continue this tradition. I was pleased to take to the stage to join Santa and Rudolph for a rendition of 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas'. That will be live on Facebook later this week. This event is one of my personal favourites, and I was so pleased to see such a great turnout from the community. Thanks very much to the host, John Kerr, and to performers Jack Watson, Craig Martin, Sharon Rowntree and Sabrina Durante as well as to local school choirs from Coomera Anglican College and St Francis Xavier. Special mention goes to the Lions Club of Runaway Bay and to Danielle Goullet of Australian Events and Entertainment for her 13 years at the helm of this event. What a great way to start the festive season.
