Epping Primary School
Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (09:42): I rise today to speak about the Epping Primary School’s Greenbrook campus, a fantastic little school in my electorate of Mill Park. The Greenbrook campus has 90 students enrolled and is a highly multicultural community, with 51 per cent of the school’s students qualifying for English as an additional language. I recently had the pleasure of visiting and speaking with school principal Barbara McKenzie about the amazing things the school is doing, including its school breakfast program, which it runs in partnership with Foodbank Victoria, and the many lunchtime clubs they run, such as the garden club and the jewellery club. I was also delighted that the school offers Italian as a second language – bellissimo! The staff are committed to and passionate about providing every opportunity to students aspiring to be lawyers, doctors, veterinarians and football stars. They are a small campus with a big heart who are also delivering a wonderful school experience to their students.
