Evelyn electorate
Ms VALLENCE (Evelyn) (14:44): (6234) My question is to the Minister for Education on behalf of the Wandin North Primary School community, the students, their families, the principal and the teaching staff. When will you provide sufficient funds for major upgrades at Wandin North Primary School for new buildings to provide modern classrooms, including for science, technology, engineering, arts and maths, a library, disability access and new toilets? Wandin North Primary School’s infrastructure currently consists entirely of old portable classrooms. They are no longer fit for purpose for this growing school of nearly 350 students, and they do not provide equal opportunity for students with a disability. Also the toilet block is old—nearly 45 years old. It is full of asbestos. It is not great; I know because I have used it. It is not good enough for the Department of Education and Training to deny proper permanent buildings for Wandin North Primary School, telling them that they have got too many students to do the works. When will Wandin North get these funds?
