Ferntree Gully electorate
Mr WAKELING (Ferntree Gully) (11:43): (2308) My constituency question is to the Minister for Education. Early in February I contacted the minister by email seeking advice on how Templeton Primary School in Wantirna could progress their school’s three-stage master plan. The school is predominately made up of outdated portables; only nine are permanent classrooms out of 29. The school are under-entitled for their gym and their meeting space, which was initially built to house 250 students and now houses 735 students. I have also been contacted by the school, and the school has made representations to the regional executive director in the outer east seeking funding this year for the refurbishment of the school’s toilet blocks for the students, which I am advised will cost in the vicinity of $150 000. My question is: when will Templeton Primary School receive funding from the government for the refurbishment of their toilet blocks?
