Constituency questions

Eastern Metropolitan Region


Eastern Metropolitan Region

Mr BARTON (Eastern Metropolitan) (12:43): (1983) My question is for the Minister for Education. I had a constituent reach out to me to share their concerns regarding the lack of funding for Vermont Primary School. Vermont Primary School is a high-performing public school ranked in the top 3 per cent Better Education percentile. Of course, with these consistently high results the school population has soared, despite there being no government expenditure on the school infrastructure since 2010. The school has 760 students enrolled this year. Their long-term enrolment plan created in 2013 was for only 425 students. Clearly this school is overperforming relative to infrastructure. The information I seek is: does this government have plans to address the lack of school infrastructure at Vermont Primary School?
