Pascoe Vale electorate schools

Anthony CIANFLONE (Pascoe Vale) (10:01): On Friday 12 April I was very pleased to visit the brand new $20.5 million Coburg Special Developmental School at 191 Urquhart Street in central Coburg ahead of its term 2 opening. Moving from its former site on the corner of Gaffney Street and Bishop Street, North Coburg, the school provides significantly increased capacity for 96 students across the north. In visiting I commended principal Warren Tofts, deputy principal Sally Smith and all the teachers, staff and students and families and wished them all the best in their new school.

On 27 March I visited Pascoe Vale Primary School to celebrate the pouring of the concrete foundations for the school’s new $7.7 million indoor gym and basketball court.

On 26 March the member for Preston and I visited Newlands Primary School on Elizabeth Street to inspect the progress on the school’s landmark $20 million upgrade, the biggest investment in the school’s history since 1951, which we are proud to be delivering.
