Riverwalk Primary School
John LISTER (Werribee) (13:24): Last week I joined parents at Riverwalk Primary School for a Q and A session about local issues. Around 30 parents joined me to discuss a range of topics. Thank you to Jody Christo for helping to bring together the group. There was a lot of interest in the opening of Ison Road and the next steps for upgrading the Main Road interchange, with many parents acknowledging the benefits of having this new connection for the west of Werribee. School traffic safety was also an important issue. I explained the government’s commitment, through a local TAC grant, to improving safety around schools and committed to following up with council their acquittal of this grant. Riverwalk Primary School has created an amazing community of learners, supported by major upgrades from this government. One of the first things that principal Barry Devlin showed me was the open learning spaces the preps were in. I knew we had to find a way to section off classes to help with that move to explicit instruction and focus. I am proud to have secured funding in this year’s budget towards this.
