One of the joys I have as Mayor is attending the school presentation assemblies. I have been able to attend Triabunna, Orford and Bicheno but unfortunately not Swansea (due to a conflicting appointment). All the schools have showcased the amazing work done by students supported by very talented teaching staff. We are so lucky in our area to have small rural public schools who have the welfare and well-being of all students at heart.
We have so many talented artists and musicians in our school communities. As someone who can't play a note or draw a straight line, I am always in awe of that talent especially when the kinder/prep students step onto the stage. Couple this is the academic achievements of students and the future is looking very positive for our area and indeed the State.
One of the exciting aspects of life on the east coast is the number of very successful businesses we have in all areas. Our industries shine whether on the local or world stage. Please take the time to shop locally and support those that support us in so many ways. Many of the businesses step up when asked for donations for community events so the least we can do is support them. The support by businesses of the various Christmas activities across our municipal area was appreciated by all the volunteer organisers and brought so much joy to so many.
As 2023 draws to a close, I take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Stay safe whether you are on the roads or on the water
