Rupanyup Primary School

Ms KEALY: Rupanyup Primary School is in desperate need of state funding to build a new playground. The school community have had their current playground assessed as unsafe, and it must be condemned. The school community have been proactive and sought funding to build a replacement playground, but sadly the state Labor government have not supported this vital project. This is a terrible decision that has left the school with the impossible decision to either retain a playground that they know is unsafe for their children or remove the playground—it is the only playground at the school—meaning those kids would not have the opportunity to play and learn in their grounds. I therefore ask the Minister for Education to urgently review this decision and provide the urgently needed funding for the Rupanyup Primary School to build a new, safe playground for their students.
