Brunswick Kindergarten

Sheena WATT (Northern Metropolitan) (14:58): The test of time is always an important one, and I am very glad to report to this place that Brunswick Kindergarten has withstood it as it has just celebrated its 100th birthday. The festivities had all the children dressing up as 100-year-olds, which was such a bunch of fun. The Brunswick community has been lucky enough to have this kindergarten now for over a century, and I hope to see it remain there for many more years. It is places like the Brunswick Kindergarten that help form the bonds of community, where lifelong friendships and crucial learning take place. The kindergarten atmosphere that surrounds Brunswick Kinder really cements it as a cornerstone of the local community, and I can very safely say that without it the Brunswick community just would not be the same.

The Allan Labor government knows just how important our kinders are, which is why we are building kinders next to primary schools right around the state to tackle the dreaded double drop-offs. It is true to say that it really does take a village, and there is no better place for kids to learn and grow than at our kinders here in our brilliant state.
