Constituency questions
North-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (14:02): (888) My question is for the Minister for Education. Last week Shadow Minister for Early Childhood and Education Jess Wilson and I visited Glen Waverley South Primary School and met with principal Con Vellios. Glen Waverley South is in the process of constructing a new building. The construction project has taken two years to complete and is running a bit behind schedule. The transition date to the new building has now moved from holiday dates to in-term dates, and the school needs an additional pupil-free day to facilitate the transition. An extra day would significantly improve the logistics and minimise disruption to classes and school routine. The additional day is crucial for ensuring a smooth and efficient relocation process for staff and students. My question to the minister is: will you allow the leadership of Glen Waverley South Primary School an additional pupil-free day to make sure they can manage the transition and set up this new teaching space?
