Ms EDWARDS: On Friday I was thrilled to welcome the Premier to open our $6.4 million upgrade of Marong Primary School. Marong is a rapidly growing part of Bendigo, and this upgrade was needed to cater for new residents and an increase in enrolments. It is not only Marong where we are delivering positive outcomes for students. Last month I turned the sod on Maiden Gully Primary School’s $4.5 million modernisation, in May I announced $8.8 million for new facilities at Bendigo Special Development School and in March we opened Kalianna School’s $15.6 million upgrade—and that is just this year.
