Ms STALEY (Ripon) (14:46): (6300) My question is to the Minister for Education. Is the minister planning to fund the much-needed refurbishment of Ararat College? And if not, why not? I recently met with Ellie McDougall, the principal of Ararat College, and she showed me a school that is in a rebuilding phase academically—and more power to her leadership—but the facilities are not fit for purpose. They are still stuck in the 1960s, when they were built in many cases, and they do not have the right amount of airflow and all the things that we need these days in the current circumstances we live in, let alone facilities fit for purpose. She has got a plan to refurbish the school. She needs some money, and the government should deliver it.
