Springvale Park Special Developmental School
Eden FOSTER (Mulgrave) (17:20): (636) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Education, and the action I seek is that he joins me at Springvale Park Special Developmental School to meet with the wonderful staff and students and tour the school, with a focus on the site of a new classroom. In 2020 the state government invested $66,000 from the Minor Capital Works Fund to upgrade the school’s bike shed. In the 2022–23 budget the state government invested over $8 million for new classrooms to replace portables, and in the 2023–24 budget the government provided money from the $25 million Hydrotherapy Pools at Specialist Schools Fund to build a new hydrotherapy pool. My electorate includes two developmental schools, and I am proud to be part of a government that understands that ‘no student being left behind’ includes special developmental schools and treats their advocacy just as seriously as other public schools. I thank the minister for his advocacy on these issues and look forward to him joining me soon at the Springvale Park Special Developmental School.
