Western Heights College
Ella GEORGE (Lara) (19:12): (86) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Education, and the action that I seek from the minister is to visit the Western Heights College in the electorate of Lara and see firsthand the Western Heights specialist sports program. Western Heights College currently run four specialist sports programs: AFL, basketball, netball and soccer. This program offers student athletes a unique opportunity to pursue their sporting dreams while receiving an outstanding education. The program also offers students the opportunity to learn more about career pathways in sports-related industries. For many years the Western Heights community has been advocating for the construction of an on-campus gymnasium. I was pleased to announce in October last year that a re-elected Andrews Labor government would deliver this major upgrade and construct a competition-grade gym. I am proud of the commitment that Labor has made to ensuring that the students who attend Western Heights College will have the world-class facilities they deserve, and I look forward to welcoming the Minister for Education to Western Heights College to hear more about the sports program and plans for the gym.
