The first stage of the Cronulla High School upgrade is now complete and will be ready for use on day 1 of term 1 2024.
I joined 2024 student leaders, Principal Tony Ibrahim and Deputy Principal Susan Geldart for a tour of the new “M Block” on the last school day of 2023.
The new building includes six advanced teaching spaces, new staff common room, other new staff facilities, modern student restrooms, and a new canteen.
Senior students will enjoy start of the art learning spaces from the start of 2024. I thank Tony Ibrahim and the school P&C for their input during the design phase and the entire school community for its enthusiasm and patience.
The previous Liberal Government announced an extensive upgrade of Cronulla High School in 2019. Construction began earlier this year.
The remainder of the upgrades will be completed progressively in 2024 and 2025. These include another new building (“L Block”) (bringing the number of new teaching spaces to ten, plus additional core facilities), renovation of some existing buildings, new covered walkways and a major extension of the school hall.
The 254th anniversary of the Meeting of Two Cultures (Cook’s landing) commemorated at Kurnell today. ... See MoreSee Less

Gymea Bay Baths are a magical spot - but now increasingly afflicted by water pollution and litter, including because of the huge growth in its popularity as a fishing spot.
I caught up with local residents a few days ago to discuss the issues and possible solutions. ... See MoreSee Less

Thanks for coming down to Gymea bay ,hopefully something can be done so we can all be proud to take family and friends to our beautiful baths .A place where many of us swim when water clean .thanks
Have the fisheries look into if it is truely a king fish breeding ground. If so, ban it!
Undersized fish being taken there daily and contact with fisheries results in 0 action. The place is always covered in fish guts and garbage relying on locals to clean up tourists mess.

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.
