Members statements- Sunbury Primary Inclusive Schools

Mr  J. BULL — Congratulations to Sunbury Primary School on being successful with its application to the Victorian government’s Inclusive Schools Fund. Two sitting weeks ago in Parliament I asked the Minister for Education to support the $20 000 application, which will see a creative play pod built at the school. The grant forms part of the Andrews government’s new Inclusive Schools Fund, which is providing $10 million over four years to build inclusive school facilities and help government schools better support the social and educational needs of young people with a disability.

The 33 projects in this first round of the Inclusive Schools Fund include the construction of outdoor areas, accessible programs, sensory places and equipment. Sunbury Primary School will be using its funds to construct an outdoor sensory learning space. I am incredibly pleased that this announcement has been made. We are getting on with it for Victorians.
