Ringwood electorate
Mr HALSE (Ringwood) (11:41): (1832) My constituency question is for the Deputy Premier and Minister for Education, and I ask: what information can the minister provide regarding the government’s inclusive schools program in the electorate of Ringwood? I recently had the pleasure of visiting Antonio Park Primary School in Mitcham with the Premier to announce $200 000 for a new bush playground under the Victorian government’s Inclusive Schools Fund program. The kids were excited by this announcement and have grand plans for the improvement of this much-loved playground area. They were also pretty happy with the icy poles on a 40-degree day. Play is important, and no kid should have to sit out and watch from the sidelines. I look forward to the minister’s response.
