Hastings electorate schools
Paul MERCURIO (Hastings) (16:26): I would like to thank the Minister for Education for taking the time last week to come down and visit my electorate, specifically Western Port Secondary College. During his visit the minister formally opened the new education centre, made possible by a grant of $11.5 million by the Allan Labor government. The new education centre is absolutely amazing and was created with a lot of artistic input from students. After opening the centre the minister met with 20 principals from various schools within my electorate for a principals morning tea. We shared an hour of questions, thoughts, discussions and ideas – and cakes – and I know the minister took away some really important points.
