 Anthony CIANFLONE (Pascoe Vale) (09:58): On 24 July I joined with the member for Broadmeadows to visit Westbreen Primary School, on the corner of Pascoe Street and West Street. School principal Tony Cerra, along with school captains Maryam and Youkhana, provided us with a tour of the new facilities that have been delivered thanks to the $6 million invested by the Andrews Labor government since 2014, which has provided new classrooms, an art room, outdoor basketball courts and much more for the school’s 340-plus students. We also took the chance to answer many of the curious questions from the school’s grade 5s and 6s, who include, I believe, many future community leaders as well as future Socceroos and Matildas. As it was first opened back in 1923, I look forward to celebrating the school’s centenary coming up in September along with school council president Alice Pryor and the broader Westbreen Primary School community, who are doing a magnificent job.
