 Sonja TERPSTRA (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (19:19): (1784) My adjournment matter this evening is for the Minister for Education in the other place. I rise today and want to commend Minister Ben Carroll and in addition Treasurer Jaclyn Symes and the entire Allan Labor government for their commitment to upgrading specialist schools across the state. I want to draw attention to the positive impact this has had, and will undoubtedly continue to have, on students and families in the North-Eastern Metropolitan Region. Making sure our state specialist schools are upgraded and updated comes as part of the Allan Labor government’s commitment to maintaining and improving public education across Victoria, ensuring all young Victorians have access to the support they need to succeed in their education. The action I seek is for the minister to provide further detail on how future investments in special schools will benefit students in the North-Eastern Metropolitan Region.
