Shepparton electorate schools
Kim O’KEEFFE (Shepparton) (09:53): I had the absolute pleasure of recently visiting Mooroopna Primary School, Shepparton East Primary School, St Francis Primary School Nathalia and Bourchier Street Primary School in Shepparton to present school badges and certificates. It is always such a proud day, with some of the families, friends and carers in attendance. I also had the opportunity to spend some time with the students, teaching them about the three tiers of government and my role as their local MP. We also talked about the many opportunities of being a leader and the important role they have to contribute to their school and the broader community. The students had great questions, and it is really great that the students are becoming more aware of their local leaders. Our future is looking very bright with such wonderful, enthusiastic student leaders, and I wish them a great year ahead.
