 Sheena WATT (Northern Metropolitan) (12:47): (1689) Arden is one of the quickest growing areas in my electorate, and along with the brand new Metro Tunnel station, the Arden community can look forward to a new high school. Having growing areas means having growing families, and the Allan Labor government is taking the necessary steps to support these families and provide the infrastructure needed in such a quickly developing suburb. I remember a few years ago when I opened Docklands Primary School it was a truly transformative change to the community, and since its opening I have watched the kids grow and learn in a community they can call their own – something I know will happen in Arden with this new high school. My constituency question today is to the Minister for Education in the other place on behalf of the residents of north and west Melbourne, and it is to ask: what impact will a new high school make on the growing Arden community?
