Pascoe Vale electorate schools

Ms BLANDTHORN (Pascoe Vale) (2322)

My adjournment matter is for the attention of the Minister for Education, and the action I seek is that the minister update me on the progress of the building projects at Corpus Christi Primary School in Glenroy, St Paul’s Primary School in Coburg and St Fidelis Primary School in Moreland.

All three of these projects are receiving funding from the Andrews Labor government.

These low-fee, faith-based schools provide first-class educational opportunities to local kids from Glenroy, Coburg, Pascoe Vale South and surrounding suburbs. However, all three schools have challenges caused by ageing facilities.

Each of these school communities was incredibly appreciative of the funding allocation that they received. Each of these school communities is extremely excited about the renewal of their facilities.

I am keen to receive an update on how these projects are progressing.
