Surfside Primary School
Ms NEVILLE (Bellarine—Minister for Water, Minister for Police) (09:37): I recently had the pleasure of visiting Surfside Primary School in Ocean Grove to open the school’s newly refurbished classrooms and sensory garden. Surfside is a great school that I have had the pleasure of working with over many years. The refurbishment saw a complete upgrade to 10 classrooms, which have been designed to make classes more interactive through collaborative learning. Importantly the school’s library was also upgraded as part of the works. The new outdoor sensory garden looked great and will make the play area far more inclusive for all. I thank the school for the warm welcome it provided me, and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the comprehensive tour I was given by student leaders Lexi Clay and James Carty, both obviously very proud of their school. I congratulate the school community on their commitment to the future of Surfside, led by principal Peter Walsh, teachers, staff and school council president Eloise Cann.
