Greensborough College

Colin BROOKS (Bundoora – Minister for Development Victoria, Minister for Precincts, Minister for Creative Industries) (09:56): One of the great local secondary colleges in my electorate is Greensborough College, and I have been proud over the years to be part of a government that has invested tens of millions of dollars rebuilding this great school, making sure that the high quality of the teaching and the community spirit is matched by the high quality of learning and sporting facilities.

Last week I had the opportunity to join the principal Ms Pauline Barker, school council president Ms Kate Lansbury and many from the school community to celebrate the new student leaders for 2024. In particular I would like to congratulate this year’s college captains Will Baker and Olivia Hickey, college vice-captains Charli D’Onofrio and Jaye Sun and junior college captains Dakota Edmonds and Koby McDonald. I would also like to congratulate all the other students that have been given positions of leadership and important responsibilities at the college, including year level captains, college sports captains and arts captains.

As Minister for Creative Industries I was particularly impressed with the performances on the night of some of the talented musicians at Greensborough College, including their renditions of Stevie Wonder’s Isn’t She Lovely and Nirvana’s Come As You Are. They were great. Congratulations once again to all students that have been given leadership positions. I know each and every one of you will do a fantastic job representing your school, and I applaud our Greensborough community.
