Melton electorate
Mr McGHIE (Melton) (14:47): (6465) My constituency question is to the Minister for Education. The Melton electorate has seen a huge investment in our schools and in the most recent budget Melton received news of a new fast-tracked primary school in Brookfield, funding for the purchasing of land for a new primary school in Weir Views, land for a new secondary school in Cobblebank, $10.68 million upgrades for Darley Primary School and a massive $31.77 million for Staughton College, which will effectively be a new school by the end of the upgrades. We have already seen a new school in Eynesbury; next week I will open the huge upgrades to Exford Primary School; next year we will open a new primary school in Thornhill Park; and earlier this year we opened Strathtulloh Primary School for students. Even with this massive investment, the growth in Melton still continues and these new schools like Strathtulloh Primary are already seeing huge enrolments and pressure on future capacity. Will the minister visit my electorate to discuss the impact of growth in student numbers on our schools?
