I rise to speak about three leaders from my electorate and the values they embody. In Bean we are fortunate to have many impressive school leaders who guide and shape our school communities—school leaders who I've enjoyed engaging with and learning from over the years. Principals are very much community leaders, and these three have provided significant service to the community in Bean. Michael Lee has been the Principal of St Mary MacKillop College since 2008. He is a dynamic and inspiring leader who has led his school community with distinction, compassion and moral courage. Michael is very much a force of nature, a man of deep learning and intelligence as well as unshakeable values of social justice and fairness. Under Michael's leadership, St Mary MacKillop College has become a powerhouse of achievement in sports, academics, the performing arts and community service. Michael will be stepping down as principal at the end of the year but has so much still to contribute.

Ian Hewitt was until recently the Principal of Trinity Christian School after commencing there as a teacher in the 1980s. As principal, his growing Trinity moved from strength to strength. He oversaw significant investment in the school's physical infrastructure, including a very impressive new performing arts space. He has also found time to contribute at a national level. I've always enjoyed my engagements with Trinity under Ian's leadership. I've always found the school mirrored Ian in important ways: warm, welcoming and inclusive. Ian is a leader of integrity, faith and conviction, and I hope he enjoys time with his family and continues to contribute on his own terms.

For nearly 10 years Greg Terrell was the Principal of Bonython Primary School. He led the school with empathy and focus, bringing a wealth of experience to bear in his approach to school leadership. He helped to foster at Bonython a culture of connection, community and belonging for all students. Greg cultivated a spirit of inclusivity and learning, as is captured by the school framework values of grit, integrity, embracing diversity, and self-management. He is now the principal of Palmerston District Primary School, outside of the electorate, and I thank him for his service at Bonython.

Michael, Ian and Greg have inspired, supported and believed in thousands of students under their watches. They have been the best community leaders in Bean, and may their example inspire the next generation of assistant principals and principals to lead with courage, compassion and care. We are fortunate to have community leaders like Michael, Ian and Greg, and I thank them for their deep ongoing service.
