 Anthony CIANFLONE (Pascoe Vale) (14:51): (721) My constituency question is for the Minister for Education. What are the ongoing benefits for local students associated with the $9.2 million in new facilities that have been delivered by the Victorian Labor government for Glenroy secondary college? Glenroy secondary college is a vibrant co-educational year 7 to 12 school with students drawn from Glenroy, Hadfield, Oak Park and parts of Pascoe Vale and Coburg in my electorate. The school has long punched above its weight in supporting generations of local students to receive a solid education in the north as reflected through its values of achievement, respect, integrity and teamwork. Growing from 430 students in 2023 to over 450 students this year, the school has always valued the diversity of the surrounding local community and student cohort, continuing to encourage students to aspire, succeed and reach their potential in an increasingly inclusive learning environment that places wellbeing at its heart. Through the excellent learning environment the new principal Andrew Arney has been doing excellent work along with teachers, support staff, admin and family members to support the school to continue to grow, and our $9.2 million investment has delivered new facilities that will continue improving learning outcomes for years to come.
