Ms BYRNES (Cunningham) (13:31): As we all know, mobile offices are a vital part of our work. They allow us to connect directly with the community and meet the wonderful people that we represent. On Wednesday 17 July, I had the pleasure of experiencing just how important these moments can be. While out at a mobile office in Stanwell Park, I was approached by three incredible students from Stanwell Park Public School: Fox, Miller and Emma. These talented young students weren't there just to chat. They were out fundraising for their school's band program during their school holidays. They were there with their very supportive dad, Jonathan. They asked if they could share the space where I had set up my store, and, of course, I gladly agreed.
These students were not only selling delicious homemade cupcakes but were playing wonderful music together for the Stanwell Park community. With a saxophone, clarinet, guitar and a lot of enthusiasm, they played music while selling their delicious treats. It was truly inspiring to see their passion for music and commitment to supporting their school community. Moments like these make our work in the community just so rewarding. I can't wait to see where Fox, Miller and Emma's musical journey will take them. With their passion and enthusiasm, they have a very bright future ahead, and I'm very excited to watch them achieve great things.
