John MULLAHY (Glen Waverley) (13:37): On another matter, I was delighted to recently welcome year 6 students from Vermont Primary School to Parliament to learn about civics, democracy and the important role our institutions play in shaping our state. At a time when democratic institutions are being tested around the world it is more important than ever that young people understand how our system of government works and the responsibilities that come with citizenship. I was also pleased that this year’s Victorian budget delivered $15 million towards stage 1 of the Vermont Primary School’s master plan, delivering modern learning environments for generations of students to come. I did have to gently tell the year 6 students that while they may not get to enjoy the new facilities themselves, they can take pride in knowing that the future generations of Vermont Primary School students certainly will.
