St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School Black Rock
Brad ROWSWELL (Sandringham) (10:28): Last week I had the privilege of meeting with a group of some 40 parents at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Black Rock, a much-loved and well-respected school within my constituency. Now, St Joseph’s is currently subject to a school viability process instigated by the Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools, or MACS, and I am advised that the process will shortly conclude with an announcement about the school’s future to be made in August of this year. It is clear to me that the only acceptable outcome for this school and for this parent community is for St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School to remain open, and later today I will convey that in letter form to MACS on behalf of parents.
