Auburn South Primary School

Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (22:12): (1211) Just on the adjournment tonight, I want to make a note of the absolute tragedy that occurred this afternoon at Auburn South Primary School, where a very tragic incident has seen the death of one of the students at that school and four other students injured. I know many in the Parliament, from the Premier, the Deputy Premier and the Minister for Education –

David Davis interjected.

Ryan BATCHELOR: I was just going to say the member for Hawthorn. You did not need to interrupt. There might be moments when you can just hold it back for two seconds.

Lots of people have expressed their concern for the welfare of these families and for the school community. It is a great school. I was there last year and spoke with principal Marcus Wicher. It was a place that was filled with joy, and I can only imagine the sadness that is there today. So the action I seek from the Minister for Education is for him, through the department, to provide all the necessary support that is required for this school through this incredibly difficult time.
