It was a great pleasure to attend the recent investiture of leaders at Pittsworth State High School on the Darling Downs. To be joined by other invited guests such as Ros Scotney, the former mayor of the Pittsworth Shire Council and previous councillor with Toowoomba Regional Council was equally a pleasure. I extend my congratulations to the principal, Mr James O'Neill, and his whole team on the young leaders they presented to our community.

Junior secondary leaders, including house leaders, were very impressive. Most particularly, seeing the senior leaders there on the day was indeed heartwarming: Lani Collins and Amy Sturgess, school captains; Deanna Macdonald and Mackenzie Rohde, vice captains; Meg Fowler and Kirilly Mahon, Student Representative Council members; and the house leaders from Beauaraba, Condamine and Yandilla houses at this wonderful school. It was a great honour to present all of these young ladies with their leadership badges. I extend the best wishes of the whole Darling Downs community to them for this year. The school motto is 'prepared, productive, positive and proud'. Pittsworth State High School is most certainly shaping futures, as evidenced through these wonderful young ladies.
