School is back for 2025

Happy New Year everybody! I sincerely hope that you’ve had a wonderful festive period and enjoyed some quality time with family, friends, and our sensational Aussie cricketers!

School is back for the 2025 school year and if you’re a parent of young kids like me I’m sure you’re breathing a sigh of relief. You made it! Don’t forget to spare a special thought for parents who are seeing their preppies head off to school for the first time this year. It’s an emotional and exciting milestone.

Meanwhile, it’s always worth remembering to look out for each other on our roads. This time of year is so often impacted by devastating heartbreak on our roads, so I want to remind you that road safety is everyone’s responsibility. Drive to the conditions, never mix alcohol or drugs and driving, keep your speed in check, and always remember – if it’s flooded, forget it!

On a lighter note, I’m looking forward to my first Small Business Coffee Catch Up of 2025! Save the date in your diaries for Friday 7 February at 7am in the Café at the Caboolture Sports Club. If you’re a local small business, you’re welcome to come along. Entry is free but booking is essential, so give my office a call on 5343 5100 to secure your spot.

2025 promises to be another big year for our community and I’m excited to continue working for the good people of our area. And, if you see me out and about in the community, don’t forget to say G’day.
