Ms TRISH DOYLE (Blue Mountains) (17:55):Earlier this week I was invited to attend the opening of Blaxland High School's new, state-of-the-art Performing Arts Centre. It was a joy to see this amazing new space unveiled. Blaxland High School has a proud history of its commitment to the arts and the provision of a dynamic learning environment, encouraging students to thrive in their creative expression. The centre is testament to the combined efforts of the local community and Blaxland High School's staff and students. I would like to make special mention of Peter Langfield, Head Teacher, Creative and Performing Arts; Robyn Totenhofer and the P&C; Emma Le Marquand, Principal of Blaxland High; as well as Kate Smith from the Blue Mountains Musical Society. Each has made a valuable contribution to bringing this space to fruition. The dance performance I saw was professional and captivating. Congratulations to such skilled dancers and the dance teacher. And finally thank you to the student sound and lighting crew whom I had the great pleasure of chatting to. You may work behind the scenes in humble roles but remember that it is because of you the show can—quite literally—go on.
