Tanya Davies MP, Member for Badgerys Creek, joined students and staff at Bethany Catholic Primary School in Glenmore Park to formally open their repaired and refurbished basketball court, courtesy of $62,000 in funding through the Community Building Partnership Program.
Mrs Davies expressed her delight at securing an investment into Bethany Catholic Primary School, Glenmore Park. “I was pleased to support this worthy project and I’m thrilled see the students enjoying the repaired and refurbished basketball court. I commend the school on their own fundraising efforts which contributed to the project.” Mrs Davies stated.
Mrs Davies also recently met with Luke Demanuele, President of St Clair Junior Rugby League Club, former club President and current Secretary Darren Mudford, and footy superstars Jarvis and Rocco, to celebrate the awarding of $21,616 through the Community Building Partnership Program towards the purchase of 2 portable changerooms at Peppertree Reserve.
“I commend current and former Presidents Luke Demanuele, Darren Mudford, Treasurer Angela Tester and their fellow club members for their commitment to this project and I had no hesitation in offering them my full support. These portable changerooms will provide the growing number of women players with private facilities to prepare for their games. I am pleased to see more young girls and women become involved in sport and I am proud be able to support them by this grant.” stated Mrs Davies.
