Quality of life can be measured in many ways but a vibrant cultural experience can provide real contentment which is the key to happiness. That’s why I have worked so hard to deliver great art and culture events for Gold Coasters – and our visitors – to enjoy! I congratulate the Storyfest Board, for their leadership in this space by providing Storyfest as the Gold Coast’s own literary festival. By reaching out to the whole community, Storyfest demonstrates just how valuable a centre of learning can be to the broader community. It is wonderful integration. Over three days in March – and on many other occasions – Storyfest will engage scores of schools across the city in a celebration of the written word. And there will be plenty of the spoken word, too, as authors and collaborators recount their experiences to audiences in a range of venues, including our Home Of The Arts (HOTA). Getting involved is easy with lots of choices including masterclasses, workshops and guest speaker occasions. Language is how we share meaning

and engage each other, even using sign language, so mastering words is a key way to achieve success and realise our life goals. Congratulations once again for your leadership and I encourage every Gold Coaster to get involved with Storyfest. You will find it a great experience.
