Mordialloc electorate
Mr RICHARDSON (Mordialloc) (14:46): (6361) My constituency question is to the Minister for Education, and I ask: when will detailed planning and design works get underway for Mordialloc Beach Primary School’s $2.9 million upgrades to learning rooms and classrooms? I want to place on record our deep appreciation for principal Sue Leighton-Janse, her team of educators and the wonderful students that make up Mordialloc Beach Primary School. We see student numbers growing, we see a first-class education there, but we do not want some of the buildings to stifle some of the outcomes for our students. Across our state and across all of Victoria’s communities we see record investments in education the likes of which we have never seen before, but particularly in this state budget the investment in all of the 36 specialist schools and special developmental school settings that takes it to 83—all SDS and specialist settings will be substantially upgraded under this government. It is one of the proudest achievements not only of this government but in our state’s history in 150 years of education.
