Glen Waverley electorate
John MULLAHY (Glen Waverley) (14:49): (861) My question is for the Minister for Children in the other place. How does the Allan Labor government provide support and fun activities for the children in the Glen Waverley district? Glen Waverley district is the best place to raise the next generation of Victorians, and the community grants provided in the recent free family fun program for Children’s Week proves just that. I would like to thank Kerrie Road neighbourhood house and Happy Feet Fitness for hosting a dance workout and healthy eating program last week, proudly supported by the Allan Labor government. When it comes to supporting our youngest constituents with dynamic education and social opportunities, I would like to give a shout-out to Birralee Preschool, who celebrated their 50th anniversary on Saturday. They are a wonderful community kindergarten in Vermont South, and I thank their passionate educators Cassie Rolfe, Emily Brown, Yan Sun and Sarah Montell for giving our youngest Victorians the best start for the best life. It was a wonderful celebration held at the kinder, with past educators, committee members and community members coming together to acknowledge this wonderful milestone. I thank my community for supporting our youngest Victorians, and I look forward to the minister’s response.
