Ms TERPSTRA (Eastern Metropolitan) (09:50): Society is judged by how we care for our most vulnerable, so I could not have been prouder last week to visit the Croydon Special Developmental School to inform them of a very important announcement. It was wonderful to visit with parents, students and teachers to advise them that in our 2022–23 budget Croydon Special Developmental School will receive $11.75 million for upgrades to their school. This will include an upgraded gymnasium, administration area and hydrotherapy pool building, and I can report to the house that the announcement around the improvements to the hydrotherapy building was met with such delight by the children. It was just a fantastic opportunity to visit that school and to share in the good news. This is of course part of our commitment to see every student with special needs receive the very same opportunities as every other student in our state, and I could not be prouder that our government is delivering on these very important reforms.
