Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) (18:18): Today I inform the Parliament of the fantastic musical contributions made to the eastern suburbs community by those who participated in the Bondi WAVE Program this year. The Bondi WAVE Program is a song-writing program aimed at primary and early high school students. The program teaches students how to write and play original songs from music industry experts including Lindy Morrison, OAM, from the Go-Betweens and Jim Elliot from The Cruel Sea. Participants also get to take away a professional recording of the music that they make. I had the pleasure of attending the Bondi WAVE Showcase Concert and listening to the remarkable music created by students from across the eastern suburbs. All of those students should be so proud of the music they were able to create. I know for sure that this will not be the last time that I hear from some of these incredibly talented students. I imagine next time it will be on the radio.
