Caulfield electorate schools
David SOUTHWICK (Caulfield) (09:40): Education can change people’s lives. I particularly want to give a shout-out to Oakwood School, Caulfield campus, which I visited, which is doing an amazing job with young people, getting them on the right track. There is a second campus that is being opened in Ormond at the moment, and Oakwood are busier now than ever because young people are disengaged from school. This is a great model that we should be also looking at expanding. I want to thank principal Nathan Vogt and Paul for showing me around the school and the great work that they are doing.
Konichiwa. It was a pleasure to attend the Caulfield Primary School’s Pirates of the Curry Bean concert only a few days ago and to see over 400 kids appearing on stage – a great job. They are a Japanese bilingual school that really teach kids a great way to be able to perform but also great skills. Arigatou gozaimasu to all of the school, and thank you for inviting me to the musical.
