Today I rise to congratulate outstanding members of the Tangney community on their contribution to the electorate and the wider community. Montana Scott, Brydie Dumma and Tayla Edwards of Riverton Primary School raised $400 for Second Chance Horse Rescue and Rehabilitation by putting on a free-dress day at their school.

Since 2006, Second Chance Horse Rescue and Rehabilitation has rescued over 100 equines in Western Australia and assisted in improving the welfare of countless others. The donation will greatly assist the good work this organisation does. I highly commend the drive of these students and their willingness to raise funds in support of this cause.

I also congratulate Applecross resident Mathias Gebauer, whose photo has been selected to appear on the cover of the Fremantle and inner south-east Yellow Pages. Mr Gebauer's photograph of Perth taken from the South Perth Foreshore captures the Perth cityscape in all its glory.

Mr Gebauer's is one of eight photos that has been selected out of thousands of entries. His photo is a fine example of the artistic creativity that exists in the electorate, and I applaud his contribution in capturing the spirit of the state in his photo.
