Hastings electorate schools
Paul MERCURIO (Hastings) (09:57): I recently completed visiting all of the government schools in my electorate, which was a really informative and very enjoyable experience. The most impressive thing about these visits were the principals. Each and every one of them were extremely passionate, nurturing and genuine in their care for their students. All were committed to creating positive, healthy pathways for every child, physically, mentally and spiritually. Our kids are in very good hands. There was certainly some disparity between the schools, with some schools faring better than others, and whilst it gives me an understanding of what each individual school needs, I will continue to advocate for all schools in my electorate.
