Pennant Hills High School Winter Carnival

Selfie with the Principal and P&C President of Pennant Hills High School

Mr ALISTER HENSKENS (Wahroonga)—Local festivals bring people in the community together and enable organisations to raise funds for worthwhile causes. In 2022, the Pennant Hills High School Winter Carnival was held for the first time. I was generously invited by the P&C President Dayan McLeod in 2022 and again in 2023, with the school joining the newly formed Wahroonga Electorate. It was all the fun at the fair with rides, raffles, food, markets and more and I had the pleasure to speak with Principal Ross Warren and Carnival Director Michelle Scott. The carnival saw large community turnout, and not just from the school community. It also helped to raise necessary funds which will go back to the school. I commend the P&C and school community, including all the staff and people on the day for making this event happen for the benefit of the school. I look forward to seeing it continue next year.
