I would like to speak about Koondoola Primary School, in the south of the Cowan electorate and in the suburb of Koondoola. The good news is that Koondoola Primary School has been providing quality education to young people in Koondoola for 40 years this year. The school started in 1975, and it has certainly gone from strength to strength. On Friday, there is going to be an occasion to mark this 40th anniversary. One of the guest speakers will be former Koondoola Primary School student, a foundation Koondoola Primary School student, Dany Bezaud. He started in 1975, when the school was opened. By strange coincidence, and obviously this says something about the quality of the family, the head girl this year is Kitana Bezaud, while the head boy is Kim Trinh.

I would also like to acknowledge the great work of the leadership team, Mr Rod Steere, who has been the principal at Koondoola Primary School for many years; his deputies, Marinus Potter, Graham Pearce and Janet Anthony, have also been there for many years. Koondoola Primary School is doing great work, and it is a great testament to the success of the school that they have reached 40 years. I look forward to the celebrations.
