Anthony CIANFLONE (Pascoe Vale) (09:56): Last week I also had the pleasure of welcoming grade 5 and 6 students from St Oliver Plunkett Primary School of Pascoe Vale here to the Victorian Parliament. Students had great fun learning about the functions of the Legislative Assembly and playing the roles of the Premier and the Leader of the Opposition as well as the member for Pascoe Vale from this vantage point. The tour was followed by a great discussion, with students raising numerous issues of importance to them, including vaping, gambling advertising and local schools funding, and I was pleased to share the news that St Oliver’s new school hall and gym were made possible by the $1 million provided by the Victorian Labor government. I look forward to visiting and working with all of my local schools.
