St Josephine Bakhita Primary School

Pauline RICHARDS (Cranbourne) (10:07): I was also very fortunate to join Mr Tarlamis in the other place at the opening of St Josephine Bakhita, a new primary school in Clyde North. Thank you to the Sale diocese education office, particularly Paul Velten for the work he did and Bishop Greg Bennet, but extraordinary congratulations go to the new principal Kathryn Pepper. It was wonderful to be there with the Honourable James Merlino, the chair of the Victorian Catholic Education Authority, and Dr Elizabeth Labone. These are amazing schools. We are so very fortunate to have such topnotch educators.
