Cranbourne electorate early childhood education
Pauline RICHARDS (Cranbourne) (17:15): (574) My adjournment matter is to the Minister for Children in the other place, and the action I seek is an update on how children in my electorate of Cranbourne will benefit from the kinders on school sites program. Cranbourne Primary School is one of the lucky schools to be included in this kinder on school sites program, and I am so proud of the school on so many levels. Under the strong leadership of Lachlan Yeates and Krysten Andrews students at this school are given a terrific foundation for their educational journey. The Minister for Children and I visited Cranbourne Primary School just last week, and we were given an incredibly comprehensive tour of the school by very impressive members of the student body. School captains Fatima and Emily, accompanied by Rachel, Harris and Sophia, Amity, Varin and Xavier, clearly demonstrate that the school represents the best and brightest of Cranbourne. There are a large number of families in my electorate – I often say I wake up to the sound of children in the morning – and I can imagine the inevitable excitement and relief they must feel at the announcement of this exciting program. Young families are at the heart of my community in Cranbourne and at the heart of what this government’s program has in place. I look forward to the minister’s response in highlighting the impact this program will have on the children of my electorate.
