Jordan CRUGNALE (Bass) (14:53): (283) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. What improvements can be made to give students safer crossings to support walking and riding to and from Cowes Primary School? The school community have concerns, and having been there around both the morning and afternoon bells, I agree. Principal Rod McKenzie and his dedicated team have around 570 students, and if their recent ride to school day was any indication, it certainly amplified the hundreds that walk and ride every day. The school has strong community connections, a reputation for innovation, a learning environment where students are valued and inspired to pursue what sparks them, all whilst being nurtured to be responsible, active citizens. Beyond the bells they are positively enmeshed in all things local and beyond. Neighbouring them is the highly regarded and respected Phillip Island Early Learning Centre – and a big shout-out to Karen Treppo and her team. I look forward to hearing how we can make the kids’ journey to and from school better and safer.
