On Thursday, 6 August I attended Belmont Public School for their art show. This is the second art show that the school has conducted; the first was in 2013. I was overwhelmed with the quality of the art that was on display. This was to celebrate Education Week in New South Wales. What the students at Belmont Public School displayed was second to none. At the end of the function there was an auction of the artwork, and I purchased a mosaic that was prepared by class 1/2W and Ms Williams.

An honourable member: High roller!

Yes, I am a high roller. I went in there and I bid, and I was successful. That artwork is phenomenal, and it will be displayed in my office. It depicts Lake Macquarie and the sky, and it shows just what talented students there are at Belmont Public School, along with all the other work that was on display there. Full credit to everyone that was involved in this. It was a wonderful way to celebrate Education Week.
