Mac.Robertson Girls’ High School
Nina TAYLOR (Albert Park) (17:05): (722) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Education. The Allan Labor government’s unwavering dedication to supporting upgrades and construction of new schools is appreciated by the community across Victoria and in my seat of Albert Park. In my seat we have built two wonderful new primary schools, South Melbourne and South Melbourne Park primary schools, and we have continued to improve both schools. The local schools of Port Melbourne, Albert Park and St Kilda Primary School have also received funding from the government for upgrades. I am pleased that $8.8 million was allocated to Middle Park Primary School, which will deliver much-needed benefits to the community. What is even more exciting is that we will be building Fishermans Bend primary school, which is set to open in 2026 with places for up to 650 students.
In addition to these fantastic contributions from the government, Mac.Robertson Girls’ High School is another such school that received funding and has recently completed works. Charlize at Mac.Rob, a work experience student with me this week, told me about how much more comfortable and inviting these spaces are now. Hence the action I seek is for the Minister for Education to visit Mac.Robertson Girls’ High School to see the spectacular upgraded facilities from the $4 million grant to the school in 2020, which has provided better learning environments and more opportunities for young women to pursue their academic dreams.
