Legislative Assembly 22 February 2022
Mr MORRIS (Mornington) (14:49): (6214) My question is to the Minister for Education.
I recently received an email from a constituent, and I will quote it in part:
I’m shocked and so disappointed at how little public investment has been allocated to my local high school—
Mount Eliza Secondary College—
… is in desperate need of being brought into line with neighbouring local schools. Given the demographic change with many young families moving into Mount Eliza, the school is not prepared for the needs of these families. The infrastructure is inadequate, or at the least in much need of upgrade …
and I would certainly second that.
The infrastructure is extremely inadequate.
It is not as if there has been underinvestment; there has been effectively zero investment in the school probably for the entire last 16, if not more, years.
So, the question to the minister is:
What are the minister’s plans to bring the Mount Eliza Secondary College infrastructure up to a standard comparable with neighbouring secondary schools?
