Southern Metropolitan Region
John BERGER (Southern Metropolitan) (12:52): (213) My question is to the Minister for Education in the other place, Minister Hutchins, and in asking this question I pay tribute to the Camberwell Primary School. Every family should have a great local school, so I was delighted to visit last week with some exciting news: the 2023–24 budget includes funding for plans to upgrade the Camberwell Primary School so students can get and continue to get the world-class education they deserve. Thank you to principal Janet Gale, school council president Stuart Lindsay and parents association president Christina Woods for showing me around your vibrant school and telling me all about the challenges and opportunities that you face, with about 600 students. Camberwell students can learn French in the most extensive bilingual program in Victoria. With a modern IT program and fantastic teachers, Camberwell shows why government schools do it best. So my question to the Minister for Education is: will the Andrews Labor government budget benefit Camberwell Primary School?
