26 September 2019

Mr MATT KEAN (Hornsby—Minister for Energy and Environment) (19:46):Today I acknowledge Asquith Girls High School, which celebrates its sixtieth anniversary this year. Over those 60 years Asquith Girls has had a number of hardworking and dedicated teachers and principals who have built the school into the wonderful educational institution that it is today. It is also the support of the local community, parents and students that makes the school even more special.

Lauren Gallaway - Sydney to Gold Coast Yacht Race

Mr MATT KEAN ( Hornsby ) ( 16:13 ): Hornsby is home to some incredible athletes, and includes some who have even gone on to compete in the Olympics. Today, I want to talk about Lauren Gallaway who strongly believes that there is no such thing as too young when it comes to sailing. A student at Asquith Girls High, Lauren was the youngest sailor in seven years to compete in the Sydney to Gold Coast Yacht Race. The fleet started at the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia and finished 384 nautical miles north at the Southport Yacht Club in Queensland.
