Ella GEORGE (Lara) (09:47): It was a great honour to host the Premier to visit Northern Bay College’s Goldsworthy campus recently. Northern Bay began as part of the Corio–Norlane education regeneration project. This project amalgamated nine local schools into one prep to year 12 college across five campuses. The Goldsworthy campus was the last of the five campuses to be redeveloped, and it received funding for capital works in the 2020–21 state budget. The $17 million project will deliver a performing arts centre, admin building and new classrooms. It will change the face of the Goldsworthy campus, uplifting the public entrance to the school.
The Andrews Labor government understands that every student deserves the very best facilities no matter where they live, and that is exactly what we are building in Corio. The Premier and I along with college principal Scott Diamond and Goldsworthy campus principal Erin Prendergast toured the site to see the progress that has been made on construction. A special thankyou to the school leaders for the wonderful tour and insightful conversation. Thank you to college captains Fiona Williamson and Jevic Mwanza and Peacock campus leaders Archer Boljkovac, Guneet Otal, Maddi Nunn and Tom De Francesco. I cannot wait to see this project completed and being used by students every single day. Thanks again to Northern Bay for having us.
