Last week schools across the southern Gold Coast farewelled the senior class of 2022. Our year 12 students reached their long-awaited graduation, and they have now entered the next phases of their lives. It was my great pleasure to attend many of the senior schools in my electorate over the past weeks, including Hillcrest Christian College, Palm Beach Currumbin State High, St Andrews Lutheran College and the Australian Industry Trade College in Robina. It's truly heartening to see the next generation of our future leaders. Their selfishness, their intelligence and their commitment give me great hope for our future. Across our schools, I have the honour of sponsoring the Service to Others award. This award recognises students who seek to serve their peers and the wider community with conviction and honour. I would again like to congratulate all the young men and women who have been acknowledged through this award, and I commend their commitment to their service.
