Western Victoria Region schools
Joe McCRACKEN (Western Victoria) (09:39): I had the great pleasure of visiting Miners Rest Primary School last week. I visited the senior students there, and we had an awesome time talking about civics and politics and what it means to be an MP. I was equally as thrilled to visit Lal Lal Primary School, a primary school in the seat of Eureka – what a great little school that is. I visited students from grades 3 to 6 and had a really good chat about all the local issues that are impacting them, such as the poor state of roads, lack of access to services and how we can work together to make sure that we draw attention to those things. I also went to Bacchus Marsh Primary School last week, which is the oldest primary school in the state. I spoke to all the grade 6 students, about 116 of them. We talked about leadership and how they can make an impact in the future. I was really proud to be there and talk to them about how they can have an influence in the future.
