Cranbourne electorate schools
Pauline RICHARDS (Cranbourne) (09:59): I am very pleased to have the opportunity to talk about the schools of Cranbourne, as other members of Parliament have done. I was really honoured to spend a couple of hours with the year 11 students from Cranbourne East Secondary College and particularly the professional development skills class. These year 11 students were sparkling wits. They certainly took me through my paces, asking me some very insightful questions and leaving me feeling good and optimistic about the future. Congratulations to Cranbourne East Secondary College. Having spent some time there, I was then able to open the covered basketball courts funded by the Labor government. Unfortunately they gave me a basketball and they asked me to throw a couple of hoops. My skills are not in that area, so hopefully there is no video footage. I understand that there possibly could be, but I will do whatever I can to keep that footage out of the public domain. I am not going viral for that reason, that is for sure. Cranbourne West Secondary College was great. The Treasurer came to visit last week, and they took him through his paces. I feel like there is a bit of a theme in Cranbourne. Rob Duncan was terrific. I also visited St Agatha’s primary school, and I am always grateful for the insights and generosity of the principal there.
