Mr ROWSWELL: At around 4.20 am on Saturday, 1 February 2020, large parts of Sandringham Primary School were gutted by fire. Two and a half years on, last Thursday, I joined the school community for their new school opening. On the morning of the fire I contacted the then Minister for Education and received an immediate assurance that the school would be rebuilt. The following day I joined our community to establish a temporary school at Sandringham College and Sandringham East Primary School. The journey to the official opening is a story of determination, persistence and triumph, with Sandy’s primary students at the forefront of every decision.
