Merri-bek Primary School
Anthony CIANFLONE (Pascoe Vale) (13:13): Yesterday on 19 June I was delighted to join the Minister for Education to visit Merri-bek Primary School to unveil the school’s new name and logo as determined and designed by the school community. Joined by school council president Lee Cath and school principal Maria Giordano, the minister and I enjoyed a wonderful celebration from the Djirri Djirri cultural group and beautiful speeches from students of all year levels on the school’s commitment to reconciliation, recognition and support for First Nations people. I was also pleased to see the school’s $700,000 upgrades, which include a new outdoor learning and sensory area made possible, again, by the Andrews Labor government. I look forward to working with every single one of my local schools to help improve education and learning outcomes.
