Brinbeal Secondary College

Dylan WIGHT (Tarneit) (13:13): Recently I had the pleasure of visiting Brinbeal Secondary College, one of Tarneit’s outstanding local high schools. During my visit I had the opportunity to tour their impressive new community hub building. This includes four external netball and basketball courts; three internal courts, including a show court; food technology rooms; a canteen; and a performing arts studio. Community hubs like this one offer a versatile space for our community to access top-flight facilities. They also provide students with dedicated areas for PE lessons, food technology classes and performances. A big thankyou to principal Simon Haber and the school leaders who guided me on the tour.

I am also pleased to share that Brinbeal Secondary College has joined the growing list of schools participating in the school breakfast club program, now offering free breakfast to students. In the most recent budget the Allan Labor government committed a further $21.1 million to expand the school breakfast club program to include all government schools that opt in across Victoria. In Tarneit that means that not just Brinbeal but also new schools Wimba Primary School, Nearnung Primary School and Karwan Primary School are all set to provide free breakfasts to their students. Having now delivered over 40 million breakfasts, we are making sure that no student starts the day off hungry. The Allan Labor government’s commitment to education is evident in the exceptional facilities and programs we are creating for our students and families.
