Daniela DE MARTINO (Monbulk) (09:56): Happy International Women’s Day to the women of Monbulk and all the women in this place. I rise to acknowledge the fantastic student leaders of some of the school communities across the district of Monbulk. I have had the distinct honour of attending several leadership ceremonies over the past three weeks, and I would like to acknowledge these leaders in this place and wish them well for the year ahead as school leaders. At Mater Christi College the college captains are Martha Box and Emily Tyquin. At Monbulk Primary School the school captains are McKinley Norris and Scarlett Thorp, the sport captains are Harry Arnott, Rori Garbutt and Mitch Fraser; SRC captains Alex Jones and Audrey Ross; and sustainability captain Elora Strong. At Ferny Creek Primary School the school captains are Genevieve Askew and Frankie Edquist, vice-captains Kyra Pickup and Seb Hayton, sports captains Archie Green and Hayden Allsopp, arts captains Thomas Abbott and Emily Timmermans, environmental captains Lucas Murray-Woods and Aster Hill, Arunta red house Sophie Pringle and Liara Adeson, blue house Liam Eisenegger and Tahlia Dawson, green house Noah Packer and Jade Lancaster and yellow house Max Coutts and Hudson Ashby. At Ferntree Gully North Primary School the school captains are Angus Shuttleworth, Brax Taafe, Hannah Makin and Bridge Mercuri; Gordon house captains Marcus Claassens and Chloe Bell; Patterson house captains Hamish Mactaggart and Hamish Joyce; Lawson house captains Olivia Leonard and Kiara-Jaye Suttmann; and Dennis house captains Lara Pascoe and Seth Wootten. There is not enough time to go through the next one; I will pick that up another time. But these are our future leaders, and it is wonderful to be able to acknowledge these people, amongst whom are no doubt future women leaders.
