Adjournment: Aitken Hill Primary School

Ms SPENCE (Yuroke) — My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Education. As the minister is aware, the community of Craigieburn in my electorate is undergoing significant growth, which is placing additional pressure on local schools and in particular on local primary schools in the Craigieburn area. Craigieburn North West Primary School, which is currently under construction, is greatly appreciated by the community and will alleviate some of this pressure in that part of the community. However, the growth in Craigieburn is not slowing, and nor can we. The action I seek from the minister is that he consider the impact of this population growth on the capacity of local schools and support my request for the government to fund land acquisition for the construction of an Aitken Hill P–6 school in Craigieburn.
