 Tom McINTOSH (Eastern Victoria) (12:39): My question is for the Minister for Education in the other place. I recently had the pleasure to announce to families at Peninsula Specialist College that they will have access to high-intensity outside-of-school-hours care. Minister, how is this expected to assist families with children with disabilities attending Peninsula Specialist College? Talking to parents at the school, they noted the challenges in finding the specialised care they need for their kids, which makes juggling work and other responsibilities difficult, especially during school holidays. Thank you to principal Trevor Hodson and school captains Rori and Emily for their welcoming tour of the school and to the many parents who joined us for the announcement. I would also like to mention Anna and her son Freddie. We had a great chat about his love for Fish Creek footy club, and from talking to the club since I can assure Anna and particularly Freddie that the feeling is reciprocal and he is much loved by the club and the players also.
