Today I would like to take the opportunity to highlight some of the outstanding achievements of students who attend, or have attended, Woodenbong Central School. Woodenbong Central School has enrolments of 174 students from years K to 12 so it is quite a small school but that has not stopped some of the achievements of its students. There are a number, whom I want to mention today, who have represented Australia in their chosen sporting fields. There is Remy Leonard who, this year, represented Australia in archery. There is Shallin Fuller who has been selected in the under 17 Australian touch football team and there is Katelyn Grimmett who has been selected in the Australian under-21 touch rugby mixed team. There is also Sherentai Hippi who has previously been selected in the Australian under 19 Futsal team.

I would also like to mention that fantastic achievements from students at this school are not only limited to sporting endeavours; they are also able to claim success in the arts. This week Jemimah Williams and Jennifer Williams will have the honour of performing at the Sydney Opera House in Pecan Summer. On behalf of our community, I would like to extend our congratulations to these students on the wonderful successes that they have achieved.
