Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) — I rise today to congratulate all the wonderful children from Clovelly Public School who participated in this year's Education Week celebrations. This year's theme is "Every student, every voice" and provided the students of Clovelly Public School the opportunity to share their ideas, perspectives and opinions of their school lives. In front of an audience of their teachers, parents and community present, the students had an audience of open ears to listen to their stories, and were wonderful thing to listen to.

Congratulation as well must go to the school band that won 3 gold medals for their performances!

I would like to congratulate the Clovelly Public School community for hosting this fantastic celebration and to all of the students involved to using their voices and telling their story.

I would also like to thank Mr Mathew Jackman, Principal of Clovelly Public School for the fantastic work he is doing at the school in his first year as Principal.
