It is nice to be able to stay in the House to speak this afternoon. I rise to commend the new student leaders of the northern Gold Coast schools within the electorate of Fadden. It is no small achievement to be appointed a student leader in today’s schools. These leaders have been selected because of their potential and because of their identified abilities to make a contribution to their schools and to society going forward. Australia needs great leaders, and I am especially pleased to name some of Fadden’s up-and-coming leaders this afternoon. These leaders are 100 per cent of Australia’s future, and I look forward to hearing of their leadership journeys and future successes.

At AB Paterson College, the school captain is Carolyn Tully and the vice-captain is Robert Dickfos. At Arundel State School, the 2008 school representatives are Michelle Broadbent, Mitchell Stanbrook, Achuthan Kamalarasa, Tracie Cheng, Laura Goodall and Hannah Palmer. At Coomera Anglican College, the college captains are Caitlin Bishop and Joshua Griffiths, the student council representative is Julia Baker, the house captains are Kate Ross, Christopher Gilmore, Lexie Wykamp, Lachlan Price, Suzannah Wood, Mitchell McNamara, Peta-Jessie Kirkpatrick and Vishal Naidoo, the junior secondary captains are Jenna Richardson and Jazz McCallum, and the primary captains are Darcey Campbell and Ben Senden. At Helensvale State High School, the school captains are Hollie James and Ben Bourke, the vice captains are Georgia Lamb and Patrick Doyle. At Labrador State School, the girls school captain is Abbey Williams, the boys school captain is Daniel Vanderpeet, the girls school vice-captain is Jenaya Sherriff and the boys school vice-captain is Luke Payne.

At Pacific Pines State High School the school captains are Gabby Clark, Danielle Bailey and Stevie Adams, the cultural captain is Mercedes Carrington and the sports captain is Sheena Clark. At Pacific Pines State School the school captains are Jamie Taylor and Molly Penso and the vice captains are Bianca Alexander and Jo McPhail. At Pimpama State School the school captains are Nicole Metcalf and Liam Coghlan and the environmental leaders are Claire Greer and Lydia Robinson. At St Stephen’s College the college captains are Dan Grady and Kate Byster-Bowles and the vice captains are James Ellison and Donay Meijer. At St Xavier’s Catholic Primary School the student leaders are Jack Conti, Mitchell Carter, Jack Baker, Christopher Andres, Sabrina Woodworth, Jacinta Faasoo and Emma Todd and the sport leaders are Bradley Lamont, Daniel Vella, Joseph Arthur, Kira Jarman, Shae Mastroinanni, Sam Ryan, Alexa Dolan and Sam Maindonald. At Upper Coomera State College the senior school captains are Kyle McCallion and Emma Warwick and the senior vice captains are Fioretti Sazali and Kaitlyn Cork. Finally, at Woongoolba State School the captain is Ryan Russell.

It is a tremendous pleasure to name these new student leaders of the high schools and primary schools of Fadden for 2008. I wish them the very best in their capacity as leaders for the school year, and I look forward to following their progression in later life.
