The first stage of the Cronulla High School upgrade is now complete and will be ready for use on day 1 of term 1 2024.
I joined 2024 student leaders, Principal Tony Ibrahim and Deputy Principal Susan Geldart for a tour of the new “M Block” on the last school day of 2023.
The new building includes six advanced teaching spaces, new staff common room, other new staff facilities, modern student restrooms, and a new canteen.
Senior students will enjoy start of the art learning spaces from the start of 2024. I thank Tony Ibrahim and the school P&C for their input during the design phase and the entire school community for its enthusiasm and patience.
The previous Liberal Government announced an extensive upgrade of Cronulla High School in 2019. Construction began earlier this year.
The remainder of the upgrades will be completed progressively in 2024 and 2025. These include another new building (“L Block”) (bringing the number of new teaching spaces to ten, plus additional core facilities), renovation of some existing buildings, new covered walkways and a major extension of the school hall.
The Port Hacking Putters annual regatta is a wonderful celebration of our local boating heritage and estuary environment, as well as a chance to remember the importance of water safety and fundraise for Marine Rescue NSW.

Education is the key to all in our community. Thank you for this support.
Excellent.
Nice to see Simon out and about for a change
My deepest sympathies to the family and many friends of Tony Issa OAM, former Granville Liberal MP and Parramatta Lord Mayor who passed away after a long illness. He was 69.
Tony was the state’s first Liberal Lord Mayor when he became Parramatta Lord Mayor in 2008 and the state’s first Lebanese-Australian politician to hold that position.
Tony served as the State Member for Granville from 2011 to 2015.
A long-time Merrylands resident, Tony received an Order of Australia Medal in 1995 in recognition of his many contributions to the Lebanese-Australian community. He also a NSW Local Government Award for more than 20 years’ service as a Councillor on Parramatta City Council.
Tony will be deeply missed.
Vale Tony. ... See MoreSee Less

Vote out the political duopoly that locked you down.
The flu season is just around the corner – it’s time to roll up your sleeve and get your flu shot.
2024 was one of the worst flu seasons on record for NSW with over 160,000 reported cases, and data out of Europe and the US is showing 2025 could be even worse.
Flu isn’t just a bad cold—it can even be deadly, so book your flu vaccine today. ... See MoreSee Less
