Laburnum Primary School
Paul HAMER (Box Hill) (17:20): (1024) My adjournment matter is for the Deputy Premier in his capacity as the Minister for Education, and the action I seek is for the minister to join me in visiting Laburnum Primary School in Blackburn to see the newly completed classroom building. In the 2022–23 budget the government announced $8.755 million in funding to upgrade and modernise the school. This funding has delivered a fantastic new two-storey building with 10 modern classrooms, creating better learning spaces for students and supporting teachers to deliver high-quality education. Can I congratulate the project architects BCBA Studio, the builders Newton Manor Constructions, the Victorian Aboriginal Education Association and of course the Victorian School Building Authority, who have worked with the Laburnum school community to deliver a facility that the whole community can be proud of. This investment reflects the government’s commitment to ensuring every child has access to quality education in modern facilities. The Laburnum Primary School community is a wonderful community dedicated to providing the best opportunities for its students. With students now beginning to settle into the new building, I encourage the minister to visit and see firsthand how this investment is being put to great use.
