Concord School

Colin BROOKS (Bundoora – Minister for Development Victoria, Minister for Precincts, Minister for Creative Industries) (10:21): In 1973 Helen Reddy and Suzi Quatro were on the radio, Gough Whitlam was Prime Minister and the suburb of Bundoora was on the urban fringe of Melbourne, and Concord School, a fantastic specialist school in my electorate, opened its doors. Recently I had the pleasure of visiting Concord School on their special open day to celebrate more than half a century providing education to students with additional learning needs. It was a day filled with lots of fun activities for local families. It was way for the community to reflect on the incredible journey the school has been on. I was also able to see the great new facilities completed after a $10 million investment from the Allan Labor government, which included a wonderful new two-storey classroom building. I want to say congratulations to Concord School.
