Mr MATT KEAN (Hornsby—Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation) (16:58): Hornsby will be saying goodbye to a wonderful principal this term, Anita Corney. Anita has spent the last 37 years teaching the next generation, and what an amazing job she has done. She will be retiring from Pennant Hills Public School at the end of this term and I know she will be missed. Anita has been described by parents as providing an inclusive environment and a wonderful learning place for kids. She has been a passionate believer in bringing technology into the classroom and ensuring students are prepared for this new world we live in. As Minister for Innovation, I can attest to the great work she has done.
Over the past four years Anita worked incredibly hard to ensure Pennant Hills Public School was the best place it could be, and I am sure she has treasured all of her time there. Anita has worked in both regional and rural New South Wales and has had a dedicated career in education. We thank her for her service to our children. In her retirement she can now enjoy much more her second passion—the AFL and the Sydney Swans. Thank you, Anita, for the enormous work you have done for our local community, and I wish you and Peter all the best in retirement.
