Mordialloc electorate
Tim RICHARDSON (Mordialloc) (14:38): (187) My constituency question is to the Minister for Education, and I ask when early works will get underway on Keysborough Gardens Primary School’s $5.34 million redevelopment – their stage 2 project. It was great to join principal Sherri Jenkins, more than 350 students and the wonderful school community of Keysborough Gardens to confirm in this budget the delivery of that extra funding. It will cater for 150 more students in this growing and thriving community. It will mean extra learning and play spaces and really deliver on all their stage 2 ambitions. So I give a big shout-out to the teachers, the education support staff and the wider community for all that they do. It was in 2020 that the Keysborough Gardens Primary School opened. If it was not for an Andrews Labor government and the building agenda we have for brand new schools, this would never have happened. We have seen it go from strength to strength under Sherri’s leadership, and we really thank and appreciate all the work that has been done to make this school absolutely outstanding and a leading school in our south-eastern suburbs communities.
