Guildford primary school
Ms EDWARDS (Bendigo West) (09:45): The Guildford community have their own primary school again. It was a pleasure to be in Guildford last week to celebrate the reopening of the school, which will operate as an annexe of Campbells Greek Primary School. There was strong demand for enrolment. Sixteen students are enrolled, with this number expected to rise to 25. In preparation for the opening upgrades were completed on the Guildford school to ensure compliance across a range of areas in keeping with its heritage significance. Some trivia for the first week back in 2022: alumni of Guildford Primary School include sporting greats Ron Barassi and Dustin Martin, and the roof of the school building is the hull of a ship from the First Fleet. Thanks to the community for their advocacy to reopen the school. I have been proud to work with them to achieve this outcome. I am confident that with the doors back open students and staff will build on the great legacy of education in this community, ensuring a really bright future.
