Bayswater Secondary College

Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (19:03): (522) It is one of the biggest upgrades to schools locally, and now the new classrooms and facilities at Bayswater Secondary College are open for business. Construction started back at the end of 2022, and the first day of school this year saw students in for the first time enjoying the new facilities. Now it is time to officially open the new buildings, so the action I am seeking is for the Minister for Education to join me out at Bayswater Secondary College to officially open them. The new digs include new middle and senior school buildings, replacing old with modern and bright spaces, which now means the staff and students there will have the facilities they deserve.

I have long been a proud supporter of this school and recognised back when first elected in 2018 the need to back this school community in. That is why I was proud to deliver funding for and co-chair the Bayswater education plan with other local primary schools, to secure funding for this build and to work alongside their fantastic principal Liz Swan to get things done. I am extremely proud of this school and everything they have achieved, and I have loved watching their growth. I cannot wait to have the minister out.
