Cranbourne electorate

Pauline RICHARDS (Cranbourne) (14:54): (745) My constituency question is to the Minister for Children in the other place. How will the children and community around Rangebank kindergarten benefit from the Allan Labor government’s Building Blocks grants? Rangebank kinder plays a crucial role in shaping the early education of many children and families right in the heart of Cranbourne, specifically in Lesdon Avenue. It was a terrific pleasure to visit the kinder recently and meet some of the very clever young people who are learning and growing in our community. Their future is bright, and in many ways that is so much thanks to the Best Start, Best Life program. It is something I am very personally committed to and I will fight hard for. We are fortunate to have an extraordinary team of educators who support them, and I absolutely give my greatest thanks to them as well. I would like to take the opportunity to thank the staff at Rangebank for making it such an important and inclusive place. I look forward to reporting back to my community with the minister’s response.
