Ripon electorate schools

Martha HAYLETT (Ripon) (10:09): It was also a pleasure last Tuesday to join the Minister for Education at a round table at Amphitheatre with principals from rural schools across the Pyrenees and Northern Grampians shires. We had a great, candid conversation about the issues and needs faced by our region’s tiniest schools, including their admin loads, transport needs, program goals and shared resourcing. I want to thank Mark McLay and Shane Mathison from Country Education Partnership for helping facilitate the chat and Louis Franc, Benjamin Gallagher, Emily Fithall, Matthew Smith, Cameron Carter and Kate Morecombe.
