Rowville electorate

Kim WELLS (Rowville) (14:44): (1156) My question is to the Minister for Education. Minister, I ask on behalf of many frustrated school communities: when will the Allan Labor government deliver funding for vital upgrades to the schools within my Rowville electorate? The recent state budget revealed that Carrington Primary School at Knoxfield is finally receiving funding originally promised as a 2022 state election commitment. Budget papers show that $3.5 million will be spent next financial year. However, that leaves a funding deficit of nearly $10 million. Not one cent further has been allocated in the budget. Not one cent has been allocated to schools that are in need of upgrades – Scoresby and Rowville secondary colleges, schools that have been neglected for years. Nothing to schools such as Scoresby, Rowville, Lysterfield, Heany Park, Park Ridge, Karoo and Knox Park.
