Constituency questions

South-Eastern Metropolitan Region

Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:50): (1108) My constituency question is for the Deputy Premier in his role as the Minister for Education. Last week the three new schools being built in Clyde North had their new names revealed. Clyde North primary school will be named Turrun Primary School, meaning ‘she-oak’ in the Bunurong language; Thompsons West primary school will be named Mirniyan Primary School, meaning ‘moon’; and Clyde North secondary school will be named Wulerrp Secondary College, meaning ‘tea-tree’. This comes on top of Topirum Primary School already opening earlier this year and a further two primary schools opening in the suburb of Clyde North just in the last few years alone. These schools will be opening their doors to students from term 1 of next year, and it is part of this government’s commitment being fulfilled to deliver 100 new government schools across Victoria. Minister, how will families in Clyde North and the South-Eastern Metro Region benefit from Turrun Primary School, Wulerrp Secondary College and Mirniyan Primary School?
