Constituency questions

South-Eastern Metropolitan Region

Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:39): (607) My constituency question today is for Minister Blandthorn in her capacity as Minister for Children. Minister, when Topirum Primary School kindergarten opens in 2025 how will local parents and children in Clyde North and the surrounding area benefit from this new facility? Clyde North is one of the fastest growing parts of the south-east, with many families now calling the suburb home. Demand for early childhood, primary and secondary education facilities is growing fast. Topirum Primary School is just one of the many important projects to deliver more education facilities for the local community. I look forward to the primary school opening in early 2024 ahead of the kindergarten. This brand new, modern school will be able to enrol up to 525 students. An integrated kindergarten facility will allow for more early childhood education places and for parents to drop off and pick up their kindergarten and primary school aged kids in a single trip. I look forward to its completion in 2025.
