Fraser Primary School fete
Lions Club of Canberra Belconnen
MS CHEYNE (Ginninderra) (6.57): I want to briefly rise to thank Fraser Primary School and also the Lions Club of Canberra Belconnen for letting me near food preparation over the past week or so.
Fraser Primary School celebrated 40 years on Sunday as a school in our region. And what a school, Madam Speaker! They are well known and well loved as a fantastic primary school. They put on a fantastic fete. I have been really quite privileged in a way to set foot in the canteen there. It is aptly named Kerri’s kitchen, after Kerri, who runs the canteen. That was a name decided by the school students. Kerri does a fantastic job there. It was a pleasure to do a shift of around five hours there. My job was to serve the baked potatoes. We served around 80 of those, and I think they were very well received.
The good humour and the way that the fete overall operates are an absolute credit to that school and a credit to the fete committee and all of the people who were still there many hours after the fete finished at 2 pm who were working incredibly hard. I was very grateful to be part of that yet again and I can say without a doubt that Fraser school is a great school.
I also want to quickly note the Lions Club of Belconnen for having me along last Wednesday morning from about 5 am at their barbecue at the balloon spectacular. The Lions Club of Belconnen have been involved in the balloon spectacular for about as long as the balloon spectacular has been running, serving breakfast to a lot of the spectators and also the people who fly the balloons. People very much look forward to it. Obviously flying conditions were not fantastic this year, but the Lions members turn up day after day for very long shifts at very early hours. They are a credit to this community, and it was fantastic to be part of it just for a few hours.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
The Assembly adjourned at 7 pm.
