🇦🇺WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST CITIZENS 🇦🇺
I had the privilege of standing alongside Mayor Kinne Ring yesterday as we personally congratulated Kempsey Shire Council's newest citizens on officially becoming 'Aussies'.
In total 17 people proudly made our citizenship pledge hailing from all over the world; China, Fiji, Indonesia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand and the USA. All holding up their new certificates and ready to embody what it means to be Australian.
These events are always filled with so much joy and pride and are a wonderful reminder to appreciate what it means to be Australian and to celebrate all the reasons our country is one of the best places in the world to call ‘home’. We are the lucky country, not the perfect country, and we have so much to be thankful for and proud of. And together, there is so much more that we can achieve in the future.
Congratulations and welcome to our beautif#citizenshipceremonys#aussieaussieaussieA#ProudlyAustralianlyaustralian
Well done, and a huge welcome, I was privileged to be a neighbour of the 1970 migrants in Rockdale Sydney, Legonese, Italian, Checkoslovakians and croations and me LOL Best neighbours I have ever had, I helped them with their English, they provided me with foods from their countries, our children were firm friends and Australia was privileged that they chose this country. No room for racism in my ife and I am well in my eighties.
Always a great day- well done Pat & Mayor Kinne!
Where are all the Australian flags showing how proud we are to be Australian. Question what is in the bags?
RISE & SHINE CAFE: A TRUE COMMUNITY INITIATIVE
Wonderful to be at the official opening today of Hastings Secondary College’s new breakfast cafe initiative at the Westport campus.
The Rise & Shine Café has been established as a welcoming space where students can access a free nutritious breakfast, connect with peers and staff, and begin their day feeling supported and ready to learn. With families struggling to juggle budgets and schedules, I know this is a welcome relief to many!
This great new facility is an absolute labour of love, with funding coming not only from government (council, state and federal), but also the ongoing fundraising efforts of the school P&C and the amazing volunteers from The Lions Club of Port Macquarie Tacking Point.
It’s a great example of what can be achieved when schools, community organisations, families and local leaders work together to support young people.

THANK YOU, SCOTTS HEAD PUBLIC SCHOOL!
Great to spend the morning in stunning Scotts Head today, swinging by for a quick look at the beach before heading to see the impressive primary school campus.
A big ‘thank you’ to the school captains for the tour and to years 3 to 6 for giving me the opportunity to answer your thoughtful questions.
With 68 students from K - 6, this close knit school definitely punches above its weight. A wonderful school in our c#scottshead
