Adjournment – Sunbury West Primary School

Mr J. BULL (Sunbury) — My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Education, and the action I seek is that the minister commit to providing much-needed funds to assist in constructing outdoor exercise equipment at Sunbury West Primary School. Last month I had the great pleasure of meeting with Inga Wilson of Sunbury West Primary School. Upon visiting the school it was clear how passionate both Ms Wilson and the school council president are about quality education. The school prides itself on being responsive to student needs and delivering a highly tailored student-focused education. As part of a well-balanced education, Ms Wilson expressed the need to enhance student physical activity at the school. This is something I also feel very passionate about. It is something I know the Minister for Education supports and the government broadly supports.

Ms Wilson said the school was keen to develop an outdoor gymnasium on the back oval. This would be used by students of all years to encourage physical activity and enhanced wellbeing. Sunbury West requires much-needed funding to do this, and tonight the action I seek is for the minister to commit to providing funds for this project.
