 John PESUTTO (Hawthorn) (16:46): I rise to recognise the outstanding achievements of the École Primaire de Camberwell, or Camberwell Primary School. This phenomenal school has been delivering an innovative French–English immersion curriculum for more than 25 years. The program delivers exceptional educational outcomes and attracts families from across Melbourne seeking a world-class bilingual education for their children. But more can be done. I join Dr Bertha Bazalar, school council vice-president, and the entire Camberwell Primary community in calling on the government to support the establishment of a bilingual kindergarten onsite, creating a seamless language immersion pathway from early learning through to year 6 and helping more Victorian children access the benefits of bilingual education.
