Moorabbin Primary School
Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (09:43): I think it was the absolute joy on the kids’ faces that I will take away most from my recent visit to Moorabbin Primary School, where we just opened 12 brand new classrooms and a first-class science room – state-of-the-art facilities funded by a $15 million investment from the state Labor government in the 2021–22 budget. I was there at the official opening with my colleague the member for Bentleigh Nick Staikos, who has been an absolute champion for this school, Moorabbin Primary School. The opening of the new classrooms and science rooms marks the completion of stage 1 of the redevelopment project at Moorabbin Primary School, which has enabled the school to offer an additional 300 places to local students. For stage 2, which is underway and going at a rapid clip, an incredible new competition-grade gymnasium is being built on the school grounds. This Labor government is investing in our children’s academic future. We are investing in community facilities. For families in Highett, in Hampton East and in Moorabbin, they have access to an even better local school, and for their kids that attend Moorabbin Primary School the future has never been brighter.
