 Kim WELLS (Rowville) (14:47): (1452) My question is to the Minister for Education. Minister, when will you instruct the Department of Education to urgently undertake a review into the inadequacy of existing school building infrastructure at both state secondary schools in my electorate, Rowville and Scoresby secondary colleges? Secondary students in the electorate of Rowville continue to be failed with grossly inadequate facilities under the government’s watch. Rowville Secondary College has been in desperate need for years for new and upgraded facilities to cater for its over 1800 students across its two campuses, eastern and western. A facilities redevelopment project estimated at $15 million has been sought for a number of years under this government, to no avail, and $14 million has been sought to undertake a critical facilities renewal project at Scoresby Secondary College. Both these local secondary school building projects are urgently required to address the outdated buildings.
