There were many blue cupcakes arranged into the shape of the number 100 and surrounded by an absolutely huge crowd. It was this Sunday, and it was at Wellers Hill State School, and they celebrated their 100th anniversary, their centenary. I want to take the opportunity to thank their principal, Anja Janosevic; their president of the P&C, Natasha Hynes; and one of the stars of the show, the longest-serving teacher of 36 years, Marie McDonald. It was a wonderful day filled with choir performances and dance, with a band performance and strings, and it brought so many people from our whole community together to celebrate such an important milestone. I congratulate all the parents, students, teachers and staff.

I had the great pleasure of going to Female Football Week the other day at Yeronga Eagles. It's a fantastic club in my local area, led by their president, Julio Menendez, and the Honorary Consul of El Salvador and club sponsor, Eduardo Cruz. It's a great club because it has El Salvadorian roots back to the late 1980s. They celebrate not just Female Football Week, but they also host the annual Copa America community tournament and heritage round and have a strong community focus as the hosts of the Talim Legacy Youth event. They're an absolutely cracking football club in my local electorate.
