Cranbourne electorate
Ms RICHARDS (Cranbourne) (14:45): (6299) My constituency question is to the Minister for Education. How will the minister respond to the growing need for a new school in the Cranbourne community? Cranbourne is one of the fastest growing communities in the south-east. Young families with kids are growing up in the best part of the world, but their access to facilities and teachers needs to match. An equivalent of four classrooms a week is being born into the Casey LGA. A new generation of young people is appearing in my community, and it is our responsibility to ensure we keep up with this growth. I bring to the attention of the minister that there therefore is a demonstrated need for new schools to be committed to the area and that a new school would be welcomed by the community that values high-quality education. Whilst Victoria is proudly the Education State, Cranbourne is the education community. I would appreciate any further information the minister can provide on how he is responding to the need to deliver a new school in Cranbourne.
