Constituency questions
Northern Metropolitan Region
Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (12:39): (108) At the 2022 election the Liberals were the first major party to commit to an education plan for Merri-bek North schools John Fawkner College, Glenroy College and Pascoe Vale Girls College, in consultation with RISE North – Residents Improving Secondary Education – a commitment that was matched by the Labor Party some weeks later. After consultation with the community, our side of politics committed to ruling out turning Pascoe Vale Girls into a co-ed school. Pascoe Vale Girls is a great school that caters for many in our diverse and faith communities in the north. They were very pleased to hear former education minister James Merlino rule out turning Pascoe Vale Girls into a co-ed school as part of the education plan but are concerned that this may be revisited. Will the new minister offer the same commitment and keep Pascoe Vale Girls as a girls-only school?
