Tarneit electorate
Dylan WIGHT (Tarneit) (14:52): (1083) My question is to the Minister for Education, and it is: what is the total amount of money that has been invested since the 2015–16 budget on school infrastructure across Wyndham? Since becoming the member for Tarneit I have witnessed remarkable growth in our local educational infrastructure. I have had the pleasure of opening five state-of-the-art, brand new government schools just in this term alone. Our local independent schools are thriving as well. Just last week I participated in the sod-turning ceremony for stage 2 of St Teresa of Kolkata Catholic Primary School, which has benefited from a $6 million investment from our Building Fund for Non-Government Schools. We have also seen a number of fantastic upgrades, including Tarneit Rise and Davis Creek primary schools receiving $200,000 from the Inclusive Schools Fund for playground equipment; Hoppers Crossing Secondary College receiving $10 million; the Grange, $10 million; and Tarneit Senior College, $5 million. And that is just the beginning. I am so proud to be part of the Allan Labor government – (Time expired)
