 Emma VULIN (Pakenham) (19:08): (554) My adjournment is for the Minister for Education, and the action that I seek is for the minister to update me on the rollout of disability inclusion in the Pakenham district. I would like to learn more about how this change will help students living with a disability at state schools in Pakenham. I have had several families reach out to my office whose children need additional support in the classroom, and they are aware the program is being rolled out. I am aware disability inclusion involves an investment by this government of approximately $1.6 billion into our supports in schools to ensure every student can thrive and learn. I am keen to learn more about the benefits of the new approach, the funding model and the benefits which will flow to young people living with a disability in my electorate through the initiative.
