 Bridget VALLENCE (Evelyn) (14:44): (1124) For the Seville Primary School community, the students, the families and the teachers, my question is to the Minister for Education. How much funding will be provided in the upcoming state budget for major classroom and facility upgrades at Seville Primary School to fully replace block A and block B buildings with modern and safe places to learn, including new classrooms, a library, a wellness room, a kitchen and canteen, disability access, new toilets and a safe bushfire refuge? Seville Primary School’s infrastructure is no longer fit for purpose, and the condition of the buildings curtails the growing school’s ability for modern learning. They cannot install TV monitors and other digital tools, due to the materials in the walls. There are holes in the flooring, and the ceiling in block B consistently leaks and the make-safe program has failed to fix this. I pay tribute to principal Christopher Dossor, school council president Courtney O’Keefe and the staff and parents for their ongoing advocacy for this fantastic school, Seville Primary School.
