(   Last Tuesday, 16 May, I had a fantastic visit to the PSSA East Hills cross-country carnival, which was held at Padstow North Public School in my electorate. It was great to see so many schools in my electorate participating, and the 10 schools from my electorate included Padstow Heights, Padstow North, Padstow Park, Revesby, Revesby South, Tower Street, Panania Public School, Panania North, Picnic Point and of course East Hills. It was great to see all the kids participating—there were hundreds of kids in the cross-country events. Padstow North has hosted this important carnival for quite a few years and is fortunate to have nice big grounds to run these races. I want to thank Jamie Wong from the P&C at Padstow North and all the parents from Padstow North who were involved in this important event, as well as, of course, Natalie Armstrong, the Padstow North school principal—I know there is a lot of work that goes into putting this event on and to bring all the people together from our local community. Finally, I thank Ros Rowland, from Panania Public School, who is part of the PSSA committee, for her role in organising the event. About 50 kids will go on to the Sydney South West carnival, and I congratulate all of them.
