Constituency questions

Ms RYAN (Euroa) (14:44): (6298) My question today is for the Minister for Education. I would like to know when the government will complete a new master plan for Broadford Secondary College. That school is supported by a wonderful and passionate teaching staff, but it is in an area that is rapidly growing. We have got huge population growth through that corridor, and the school are in dire need of capital funding, but they do not even have a current master plan. There is a feeling that they have just been left to languish. If no master plan is done, then there is going to be no call on the government for additional funding. They have recently been forced to convert run-down portables into learning spaces, and their BÂ block needs a complete overhaul. They also need new, dedicated spaces for subjects like art and sports. I invite the minister to join with me to see for himself why the school needs capital funding to improve its facilities. I visited there, it is a wonderful school, and I look forward to him accepting my invitation.
