Constituency questions
Kororoit electorate
Kororoit electorate
Luba GRIGOROVITCH (Kororoit) (15:05): (817) My question is for the Minister for Education. Building off the success of the Dharra School in my electorate, what are the plans to continue to support students and families in my electorate with regard to their education? The Labor government has invested more than any other state in building and upgrading our schools, because we value education. We have increased capacity across the state for an additional 9000 students, particularly in growth areas such as Kororoit. We have invested more than $1.8 billion in inclusive education to give those young people and their parents the best start that we can. This includes the new specialist school in my electorate, Dharra School. This school is for students with mild to profound intellectual disability, and can I say it has fantastic modern learning areas that accommodate the specialised education programs that are delivered to its students. I am so proud that we built this new specialist school in Kororoit, and I was honoured to join the minister to officially open it at the start of this year. I cannot wait to see more students able to access the education which they deserve.
