Adjournment
Westall Secondary College
Westall Secondary College
My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Education.
The action I seek is for the minister to provide an update on the next steps for the Westall Secondary College upgrade.
I was delighted to see another building milestone reached at Westall Secondary College with the recent appointment of architect Minx Architecture to design the upgrade.
The school received $9.392 million in the 2021–22 state budget, so it is an exciting time for students and families in Clayton South with the Westall school’s regeneration project in full swing.
We are now a step closer to the new learning wing for Westall Secondary, and a step closer to getting the facilities Westall students need for a great start in life.
In the past seven years, the Victorian government has invested more than $10.9 billion in building new schools and more than 1700 school upgrades, creating around 13 500 jobs in construction and associated industries.
The Labor government is building the Education State to ensure that every student can access a great local school and get a quality education.
The Westall schools regeneration project is another fantastic investment—an investment in Clayton South kids and their futures.
I thank the minister and look forward to his response.
