CONSTITUENCY STATEMENTS
Ms CAMPBELL (Moreton) (17:14): If you were standing on the oval at Robertson State School on 8 August and looking up, you'd have seen a couple of things. Firstly, you'd have seen the top of a fire engine, fully extended. Secondly, you'd have seen scores of prams coming down the hill, with some of the littlest southsiders from Brisbane in my electorate of Moreton.
They were there to celebrate the Southside Family Fest and the little southsiders welcome. It was a great day not only because we welcomed those little southsiders but because it was a day that brought community together. Whether it was the Principal of Robertson State School, Tyrone Bruce, or the P&C president, Ngaire Chan, or the many community groups who pulled together to make it a success, it marked a day where we celebrated the newest to our community.
I'm delighted to plug the next big event for the Robertson State School P&C: Spring Fest. It's on 3 September, with rides, lasers and fireworks, food trucks and stalls. If you'd rolled into Robertson Gardens with me on 21 July and saddled up for a buffet breakfast, you would have been meeting with the Sunnybank Hills Rotary club.
They're a fantastic club. They've been around for a long time, and their president, Bruce Cifuentes, is a bastion of our community. He's someone who, with so many volunteers at the club, has spearheaded producing equipment for local schools; working bees at Autism Queensland and at retirement villages; citizenship ceremonies; and going on club working trips to the Solomon Islands, Tonga and Samoa to work on local schools.
They are also, fundamentally, really connected into recovery during times of disaster, so I was delighted to be able to speak to them about disaster recovery and local emergency management initiatives. Warrigala is back, and it's back strong. The Principal of Warrigal Road State School, Andrew Duncan, put on Warrigala—spearheaded by the P&C president, Chris Setter, and the whole team of hardworking volunteer parents—after a five-year hiatus.
A big community and culture subcommittee puts on that show. In February 2026, 1,112 students showcased the school's musical and cultural heritage. Whether it was the symphonic band, the years 2 and 3 singing club, the wind ensemble, the concert winds, the Brisbane Chinese School cultural performance or the combined Corelli and chamber orchestras, it was a wonderful day, and I congratulate the P&C.
