Maribyrnong College
Katie HALL (Footscray) (10:21): I am delighted to acknowledge the Olympians and artisans of Maribyrnong College. You do not need to go to Graceland to get your fix of the king of rock, because Maribyrnong College’s production of All Shook Up brought Elvis’s biggest hits to life in the west. I know that everyone who was fortunate enough to see the show could not help falling in love with their amazing work. I would like to congratulate the talented cast, made up of Mia Harvey, Luke Maccini, Sam Heasly, Blake Mohamed, Sebastian Weickhard, Lucy-May Siggins, Katrinh Florey, Isaac West, Esther Pardo and Riley Arezzolo as well as everyone else involved in the production for their hard work and dedication.
And of course Maribyrnong College’s sports academy is Victoria’s elite state school for sport, and they sent five students to compete in the Olympics and Paralympics. I would like to congratulate Celeste Mucci for her 400-meter hurdles, Luke Plapp for cycling, Leon Sejranovic for taekwondo, Johann Stickland in freestyle and Nathan Pellissier, who represented us proudly at the Paralympics. Congratulations to them all. Nathan was competing in the table tennis.
