Truganina North education precinct
Sarah CONNOLLY (Laverton) (19:12): (556) My adjournment is for the Minister for Children in the other place, and the action I seek is that the minister join me to visit the new onsite kinder that we have just built at Warreen Primary School in Truganina. Now, I have spoken a lot in this place lately about the work that we have done with the Truganina North education precinct, and just recently two brand new schools have opened up on this site – Warreen Primary School and the junior campus of Bemin Secondary College. Of course it is not just these schools that are on this site. We have also built a brand new kindergarten right next door to the primary school, allowing families in this area to avoid the dreaded double drop-off. It is yet another example of the significant investments that our government has made into early childhood education, ensuring that our kids no matter where they live can get the best start to their education.
Now, this is of course in addition to our government rolling out three-year-old kinder across the state and then providing free kinder for families. It sounds like a pretty good deal to me. That is something that kids at this site will be able to receive as well, and we know that this year of kinder is absolutely vital to getting that play learning at as early a stage as possible, because every family deserves to have access to local kinder services. And that is why I would like to invite the minister to come and see firsthand how this kinder service at Warreen Primary School is giving kids in Truganina their very best start to life.
