Monbulk electorate student leaders

Daniela DE MARTINO (Monbulk) (10:02): I rise to celebrate the outstanding students of some of our local primary schools. This is one of my favourite times of the year, meeting bright young leaders eager to make their mark and improve the experiences of those around them.

At Upwey South Primary School I had the honour of presenting badges to our school captains Mila, Jack, Franklin and Eden along with house captains Jake and Poppy, Olive and Matilda, Judd and Quinn, and Will and Charlotte.

At Emerald Primary School I had the privilege of recognising the school captains Max W, Ethan, Mia and Eliza alongside house captains Thea, Storm, Charli, Max T, Matilda C, Oli, Audrey C, Dart, Jack, Rainger, another Matilda C, Taylor B, Olivia, Nile, Lulu and Jasmine C.

At Ferny Creek Primary School I had the honour of recognising the leadership of school captains Jude and Evie and school vice-captains Nova and Jack. House captains Miranda, Jade, Abbie, Matilda, Chloe, Vincent, Toni and Thalia, along with their respective vice-captains, should also be congratulated on their positions.

At Mount Dandenong Primary School I had the pleasure of presenting leadership badges to school captains Spencer, Josephine, Lia and William and house captains Bailey, Ricky, Gabriella, Jack, Tully, Sydney, Ned, Isabella, Miranda, Lucille, Rafael and Solomon.

Well done to these remarkable young leaders for their dedication, drive and commitment to working for their school communities. They are our future, and their motivation to leave their schools better than they found them is an honourable one indeed. I look forward to seeing the good work they will undertake over the coming year.
