Mathew HILAKARI (Point Cook) (10:02): The Saltwater lion dance at Saltwater P–9 College was also an enormous event. We arrived there on Tuesday afternoon just before the storms, and as I was speaking to the wonderful Julia and Aarohi, who I was presenting with awards for the cards that they had produced for both the celebration of holidays and also the Lunar New Year holiday, I was watching outside the window and could see smoke billowing from the fields outside Point Cook. Of course our FRV were wonderful in putting out a fire that was just preceding the storm. FRV, SES and all across the community did enormous work in Point Cook and in Werribee South, and I thank them so much for that work. Well done to Saltwater P–9, who had their first lion dance.
