On 16 February, I walked into a classroom. It was a classroom at Sunnybank Hills State School, and specifically it was class 3D. I was there with their principal, Geoff Mill, and the teacher of 3D, Jess Daly. Jess was teaching the students about analysing stimulus using examples. I told those students that I would talk about them today and about the great work that their school is doing, and that's why I'm up here right now.

Sunnybank Hills State School is a fantastic school with 1,680 students and 54 different cultures represented, and so many students with multilingual households. They excel across the deck, whether it's sport with interschool premierships; music with choir, string orchestra, symphonic winds, concert band; or the arts with their school musical, dance and drama awards; and for being the highest performing primary school in Queensland NAPLAN for the last five years running. It is something that only this state school has achieved out of all the states and territories across this nation, and we are so incredibly proud of them for it. I want to leave you with a quote from their principal which sums up Sunnybank Hills State School:

Our teachers drive a learning program with high expectations, a high level of engagement and importantly a healthy dose of fun.
