Burwood electorate
Mr FOWLES (Burwood) (14:44): (6381) My question is to the Minister for Education. Minister, what can the Ashwood School community expect following the exciting announcement of $9.737 million to upgrade and modernise the school? It is a great honour to represent and work with the Ashwood School community as the member for Burwood. Ashwood School is a co-educational specialist school for primary and secondary-age students with mild intellectual disabilities. The school leadership team, principal Helen Hatherly and assistant principal Sue Boyd-Graham, and the entire school team work incredibly hard to provide a nurturing and encouraging learning environment for their students. This investment of $9.7 million for upgrading and modernising Ashwood School will ensure that students in the inner east have access to a great education in a modern learning environment. I know that once these works have been delivered Helen at Ashwood School is really looking forward to being able to show prospective students and their families around the school with a great deal of pride, because as well as enhanced learning outcomes, new and modern school buildings will contribute to the great sense of camaraderie at that campus.
