Beauty Point Public School Festival of Light

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore) (16:27:09):

Recently I joined the Beauty Point Public School community for their inaugural Festival of Light. The night was a great success where the wider Mosman community came together to raise money for Beauty Point public. So far, $20,000 has been raised, which is an incredible effort, and I thank everyone who attended alongside me and my children to support Beauty Point Public School. I acknowledge the year 4 committee that organised the event and all the volunteers who manned stalls. I give a special thankyou to the school's P&C Association—Lauren Scott, Phillipa Quinn, Alex Buckley, Seema Manguzha, Jen Pole, Alexandra Mowday, Bernadette Facer, Jess Ozbay, Audrie Purcell and Lauren Adlam—for its efforts. I recognise the principal, Marion Walsh-Gay, and the work of all the staff and teachers, as well as David Murphy Residential for its support as this year's major sponsor. The crowds were dazzled by the spectacular laser show and the Vivid-esque window light displays created by the students. The festival featured the usual carnival rides and slides, a range of food and game stalls, and live music from some of the school bands. It was a great variation on the historic fireworks night. I congratulate all on a successful evening.
