I was delighted to join school, P&C and student leaders at Cronulla High School to turn the first sod to officially mark the start of construction of new state-of-the-art facilities.
The major upgrade at Cronulla High School will deliver 10 new permanent learning spaces, a new canteen, administration areas, and upgraded student and staff amenities, providing high quality modern facilities that will transform the school to meet the needs of Cronulla High students and staff.
Thank you to Principal Tony Ibrahim, Cronulla High staff and members of the P&C for their input into the design. Their work will mean the school has impressive and fit for purpose facilities to meet the needs of the school community for many years to come.
Work on the project will be completed and handed over in stages. A new building with canteen, toilets and six learning spaces will be completed first. This will be followed by the second new building to accommodate administration facilities and four new learning spaces. Car park works, new landscaping and refurbishment work to create new staff amenities will also be carried out. The entire project is expected to be finished by early 2025.
In addition to this upgrade project, work will begin within the next week or so to upgrade the Cronulla High School hall and expand it by around 50%. This will allow all students to be accommodated inside the hall at the one time.
Replacement shade structure works were completed in January 2023 in time for the first day of the school year.
The annual Meeting of Two Cultures ceremony at Kurnell today marked the 255th anniversary of the first encounter between European and Aboriginal people on the Australian east coast, with the anchoring of the HMB Endeavour with Lieutenant James Cook and his crew.
A time to reflect on the past and our shared future together. ... See MoreSee Less

Our war memorials are sacred places — built by communities, cared for by volunteers and cherished by generations.
If someone desecrates them, they should be held accountable, but we’ve seen an increase in this sort of vandalism.
When Parliament resumes, the NSW Liberals and Nationals will introduce legislation to toughen penalties.
Under the Opposition’s Bill:
✅The maximum summary penalty (ie without the need for an expensive jury trial) for damaging a war memorial will increase to $22,000 or two years imprisonment, or both (from just $4,400 and no jail option at the moment)
✅The maximum penalty for offensive or indecent conduct near a memorial will also rise to $22,000
✅Offenders will be required to pay for repairs unless there are special circumstances, so that custodians like local Councils, RSL sub-branches and not-for-profit organisations don’t have to foot the bill. ... See MoreSee Less

Great work !! Can you please also introduce legislation on this huge e-bike/scooters,fat bikes problem,to make them registered, insured and riders to have licences. Our community needs to be kept safe.
“They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.“
I attended moving Anzac Dawn Services at Martin Place and Cronulla today (and was represented at Caringbah and Miranda).
Anzac Day isn’t about celebrating generals or wars or territorial ambitions - above all, it’s about honouring the generations of ordinary men and women who’ve served, or are serving, their country through our defence forces, including over 100,000 Australians who’ve laid down their lives doing so - and being so grateful for the freedoms we enjoy as a result. ...

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”
The 2025 Harbour Sunset Tribute on Anzac Eve marked the 110th anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign and 80 years this year since the end of World War II - a moving tribute to all who have lost their lives in service for our country, those who have served and those who are currently serving.
As I placed my wreath, I also thought of the thousands of Australians who would sailed from Sydney Harbour to serve our nation, many of whom paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. ... See MoreSee Less

Cost shouldn’t be a barrier to protecting yourself and your loved ones from influenza.
Under the Minns Labor Government it is.
The NSW Liberals and Nationals are urging the Minns Labor Government to bring back free flu vaccines for all NSW people amid warnings of a monster flu season.
Our former Government provided free flu vaccinations in 2022, a program cut by the Minns Labor Government.
Last year’s flu season was the worst on record.
The Government needs to step up and ensure every NSW resident can access a free flu, which is what we’d do.
It’s false economy not to do so. In a cost-of-living crisis, providing free flu vaccines will result in fewer hospital visits, less pressure on emergency departments, fewer sick days and more lives saved. ... See MoreSee Less
