The reaction to the announcement of Julia Gillard's impending stop over in Western Sydney is mixed. Attitudes towards the visit seem to be highly varied similar to Australian political opinion of the current government and Prime Minister. Some students are reported to be very enthusiastic about the opportunity to see the Prime Minister in person whilst others were not concerned about the event at all. The reaction by parents is also mixed although a fair amount of interest is expected with the school stating that it cannot take registration requests for the event.

Other cabinet ministers expected to attend the Community Cabinet include the Federal Education Minister Peter Garrett and the Home Affairs Minister/local MP Jason Clare. A few local residents in the electorate have also commented that this event would be a good opportunity for the school to open its doors and also to promote itself as a good Christian school. Local MP Jason Clare was also seen campaigning at Berala railway station this morning with his staff handing out flyers as he spoke to residents. Other formal media outlets including the Australian and Ninemsn have respectively reported on this announcement.
