Mr PEARSON (Essendon) (13:58): I was pleased to recently visit Debney Meadows Primary School and witness firsthand the quiet revolution that is currently being unleashed. Debney Meadows Primary School is incredibly well led by principal Rachel Rasmussen, and the results are starting to be realised. From 2014 to 2018 there was a 10.8 per cent increase in the year 5 NAPLAN results, and I have every confidence things can only get better. There is a dynamism in the school that is clearly apparent. There is a real confidence that can be seen in the eyes of the children. It makes me proud that the government has invested in the school and in its students. Rachel is an outstanding principal, and I look forward to watching Debney Meadows Primary School prosper and flourish.
