Pascoe Vale electorate
Anthony CIANFLONE (Pascoe Vale) (15:07): (819) My constituency question is for the Minister for Education. How will the new $17.8 million technology hub at Coburg High School provide ongoing educational and learning benefits for local people for years to come? On 4 September I was very happy to visit Coburg High to announce the appointment of a builder to deliver the school’s landmark new $17.8 million tech hub. Forget The Block, move over Scotty Cam; the new technology room reveals will be delivered by Monaco Hickey builders. It was great to celebrate the news recently with Rob Vujnovic from Monaco Hickey builders, Richard Bryant from Bryant Alsop Architects, principal Brent Houghton, students Bernardo and Adlai of the year 7 robotics club and also Lucy and Maggie from the year 7 student voice leadership. With the builder appointed, physical works have now commenced this week and will provide stage 1 of the school’s master plan: a new double-storey tech building; modern learning spaces, including a food tech space, media, visual and audio technologies and a podcasting space; a woodwork room; arts and creative industries spaces, including textiles and fashion; and other spaces for amenities for staff and students, including a new iconic Melbourne laneway through the middle of the building.
Tim Read: On a point of order, Speaker, I have two questions on notice that are now overdue. The questions are 1462 to the Minister for Health for the Minister for Mental Health and 1463 to the Minister for WorkSafe and the TAC, and I ask that responses be given.
