 Meng Heang TAK (Clarinda) (13:15): Last week I was delighted to represent the Minister for Education at the Kingswood Primary School gym opening. It has been an amazing journey, and the advocacy of the school community should be commended. Well done to the principal Aaron Cox and the school council president Dhani Chandrasegran. Both have been great advocates for the project, along with the school council and the broader school community. It was also great to see the school captains Aaron and Asher and the vice-captains Tyson and Gisela at the opening and to hear about what these works mean for students.

Kingswood is an amazing local school, and it is an amazing project, with the Victorian government investing more than $8.2 million to build a competition-grade gym, storage area, toilet facilities, foyer space and learning space which can be shared with our community. I know how important these facilities are. Kingswood has a variety of specialist education programs, including physical education, music, performing arts and Japanese language classes, and I know this new facility will help Kingswood’s brilliant teachers to deliver these great classes.
