Al Siraat College
Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (09:41): I rise to acknowledge the achievements of two outstanding community organisations in my electorate. Al Siraat College is a fantastic Islamic school on the border of Epping and Wollert. The school is deeply engaged with our local community, and its students are often seen volunteering and giving back more broadly. That is why I was so pleased that the Allan Labor government has approved Al Siraat receiving $3.1 million towards stage 1 of its new years 7 to 9 learning neighbourhood. This exciting development will deliver 10 new classrooms, a library, project and specialist spaces, staff areas, multipurpose and collaboration areas, sporting facilities, amenities and a basketball court. It was wonderful to meet with principal Fazeel Arain when the announcement was first made and to visit the students and school staff last week to celebrate the news together. Mr Arain showed me the stunning designs, and I very much look forward to seeing them come to life.
