Assyrian New Year

 Ros SPENCE (Kalkallo – Minister for Agriculture, Minister for Community Sport, Minister for Carers and Volunteers, Minister for Treaty and First Peoples) (10:16): This past Sunday was the Assyrian New Year festival for the year 6776. The celebration brought together families and community leaders to mark an important cultural tradition. I am very pleased that the Premier was able to attend and make a significant announcement of up to $10 million to establish St Joseph’s Christian college, which will provide families in our growing northern corridor with greater access to local education, and I thank the member for Greenvale for his tireless work in championing this issue.
