Merrifield West Primary School

Ms SPENCE (Yuroke) (2295)

My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Education, and the action I seek is for the minister to provide me with an update on the next steps to be taken in the delivery of Merrifield West Primary School.

Merrifield West Primary is the third of six schools that the Andrews Labor government will be delivering in my electorate during this term of government, and it is a school that residents in Mickleham are keenly awaiting.

More young families are moving into Mickleham every month, and they are excited at the prospect of sending their children to a brand-new government school.

A new school means cutting-edge facilities and learning spaces for the next generation of Victorians in this outer-suburban growth area.

Merrifield West Primary is expected to open its doors to new students in 2021, and we are all eager to see the school take shape.

I look forward to sharing the minister’s response with the many excited families in my community.
