Aintree Primary School
Luba GRIGOROVITCH (Kororoit) (09:49:129:): I want to congratulate the principal Simon Cornock, the staff, the school council and the community of Aintree Primary School on reaching 1000 student enrolments. This is a significant cause for celebration and definitely one for the history books. When we talk about how fast the west is growing, Aintree Primary School gives a very clear picture. The school opened its doors in term 1 in only 2021, taking enrolments from prep to year 6, and in under 2½ years it has already reached 1000 student enrolments. The school celebrated this milestone with all students and staff to create the number 1000, which was captured in an image via a drone. This was thanks to Mr Anderson, one of the teachers, and it was a massive effort. It took over an hour to coordinate, and Mrs Slatter, another teacher, made this happen. I encourage all members of this house to go to the school’s Facebook page and check out the image. It is really quite impressive.
I want to make mention of the one-thousandth student who was enrolled, Makai, from year 5. I understand that he was not only presented with a special celebration gift but also awarded ‘Student of the week’ in art. What a fantastic start to your journey at your new school. I want to wish all of the students at Aintree Primary School the very best, and I cannot wait to visit this school again.
