Box Hill electorate
Mr HAMER (Box Hill) (14:46): (6375) My question is to the Minister for Education, and I ask the minister: when are construction works scheduled to begin on the $6.6 million upgrade at Kerrimuir Primary School in Box Hill North? Despite a student population of well over 500 the school does not have a gym or an indoor multipurpose space and has often had to have school assemblies on the asphalt courts outside, even in the rain. It is not just about a gym and indoor space for the school, it is also for the broader community. There is a lack of basketball courts in the Box Hill electorate, and this is going to provide a much-needed space for all of those basketball clubs that are in our electorate. I want to thank the school council president, Craig Fegan, and principal Michael McLean for driving this project, and I look forward to the minister’s response.
