Clifton Hill Primary School

Enver ERDOGAN (Northern Metropolitan – Minister for Corrections, Minister for Youth Justice, Minister for Victim Support) (09:41): Last week I had the pleasure of joining my colleague in the other place the Minister for Education for the official opening of Clifton Hill Primary School senior campus for year 5 and 6 students. We were of course joined by the project managers, builders, architects, the students and the staff. I was very impressed by these new state-of-the-art facilities, including a new three-storey building, which will create learning opportunities and make it easier for our dedicated teachers to do their work. I was also impressed by the colourful masonry at play. If you ever drive past Clifton Hill Primary School, you will see the nice green bricks. It was some fantastic work by the skilled tradesmen. I was also impressed by the energy efficiency. We have obviously double-glazed the windows and all this other energy efficiency stuff, making use of natural light. It is really a state-of-the-art building that we have built. Clifton Hill Primary School is an important institution in the north. It has been around since 1874, and it is clearly thriving. I am proud to be part of a government that has made this project a reality for the community now and into the future. Thank you again to school principal Megan Smith and the student leaders, Dolly, Skye and Luca, for making me and our education minister feel so very welcome. Congratulations again to Clifton Hill Primary on this exciting new chapter for their fantastic local school.
