Mordialloc electorate
Mr RICHARDSON (Mordialloc) (14:44): (6269) My constituency question is for the Minister for Education. When is the current redevelopment and upgrade of Parkdale Secondary College expected to be completed? This is a wonderful investment for our local community, the stage 3 works in Parkdale Secondary College’s wonderful journey: $9.6 million was committed by the Andrews Labor government to deliver 18 new classrooms and learning spaces that will meet the growing demands and aspirations of this incredible community. Under the leadership of David Russell and past principals Debby Chaves and Greg McMahon, this school has gone from strength to strength. I had the opportunity to visit the school and meet with student leaders recently and get a tour of the school once again, and to see its transformation and growth as it comes back in 2022 was really exciting. To see the second level of the redevelopment taking shape was a real honour. I want to pay tribute to this wonderful community for all that they have done over the past few years. I am really keen to get an update on when those important construction works are expected to be completed and supporting our community.
