Read the full storyIn a gesture reflecting his ongoing commitment to the local community, State Member for Hinchinbrook, Mr. Nick Dametto MP, recently visited Ingham State High School to present a brand-new pop-up marquee to the Student Council. The donation comes as a welcome addition, addressing the need for more shaded areas during the school’s outdoor activities and community events.
The initiative to secure the marquee began when the Ingham State High School Student Council identified a gap in sun protection during school events. Understanding the importance of sun safety, they reached out to Mr. Dametto's office, hoping for support. Mr. Dametto's office responded imminently, and organised the donation of the new shade structure to the school.
Principal Mr. Rod Flood expressed his sincere gratitude to Mr. Dametto for his continued support as this generous donation aligns with the school's commitment to promoting sun safety. Having the additional shade will make a real difference during sporting and community events, ensuring the students and staff are better protected from the elements.
The new marquee will be put to good use at various school functions, including sports days, community events, and other outdoor gatherings. As a school that places high importance on the wellbeing of its students, the added shade will not only enhance comfort but also promote health and safety.
The presentation of the marquee took place at Ingham State High School, with Mr. Flood and key Student Council Executive Members proudly accepting the donation. Charli Lancini (Secretary), Emily Provians (Treasurer), and Sophee Lepinath (President) joined Mr. Dametto for the handover, expressing their appreciation for the contribution.
The school community expressed collective thanks to Mr. Dametto for his ongoing dedication to improving the lives of students and his commitment to the wider Ingham community, highlighting the positive impact the marquee would have. As a consistent supporter of local schools, Mr. Dametto’s contribution not only meets a practical need but also strengthens the sense of connection between the school and the community.
Ingham State High School looks forward to making full use of the new marquee in the months and years to come.
