Cranbourne Secondary College
Ms RICHARDS (Cranbourne) (09:56): I am very pleased to rise today to speak about the amazing things happening in schools in Cranbourne. Last week I was joined by the Premier, and we inspected the brand new, about-to-be-opened sports and performing arts facilities and met the bright and enthusiastic students at Cranbourne Secondary College. I would particularly like to acknowledge that a highlight was the heartfelt acknowledgement of country by Marrung students Robert Gittens, Lauren Gittens and Hayden Cooper. I hope they were pleased to hear the Premier remark that it was the most impressive acknowledgement he had heard. I want to thank the Cranbourne Secondary College school captain, Juliana Utuva, for such a terrific tour and bringing a smile to all of our faces and principal David Caughey for his hospitality and leadership of a great school. Thank you to every student involved in the visit, including SRC leaders Zach Holmes, Jordan Paton, Eman Haidari, Michaela Roach, Chloe Umali and the VET barbecue students Hannah Brown and Dean Penn-Valotto. It was a really terrific day. Schools like Cranbourne Secondary have always been sites for so much more than just classroom education.
