 Sonja TERPSTRA (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (18:26): (2046) My adjournment matter this evening is for the Minister for Education, and the action I seek is for the minister to provide an update on the progress of construction works for the new student toilets at Beverley Hills Primary School in Doncaster East. The Allan Labor government continues to deliver for our great local public schools, providing fairer funding, rolling out evidence-based programs like Phonics Plus and investing in vital capital upgrades across the state. I recently had the pleasure of visiting Beverley Hills Primary School, where I met with acting principal Elena Pitsiakkos and assistant principal Rachel Wallace. It was wonderful to hear about the outstanding education being delivered at the school and the strong sense of community that underpins everything they do. During my visit I toured the school and saw the. capital works underway to refurbish the student toilet block. The Allan Labor government has invested just under $500,000 in this upgrade, which will ensure the facilities are modern, hygienic and fit for purpose, which supports a safe and welcoming learning environment for students. These works are part of our broader commitment to making sure every child has access to high-quality education in facilities that meet their needs. I know the school community is excited to see these improvements take shape, and I look forward to the minister’s response.
