This morning I was very pleased to join the Deputy Premier and Minister for Education at the official opening of the $6.39 million redevelopment of Rosanna Golf Links Primary School. We were joined by 527 students, including the senior concert band members, conducted by Aaron Vreulink, school council president Matthew Oates, principal Kelly Morrow and student leaders Dylan Starmans and Elise Black. Our special guests included the inspiring Professor Graeme Clark, AC, who opened the upgraded deaf facility.

I would also like to congratulate everyone who took part in the 2018 Olivia Newton‑John Wellness Walk and Research Run at La Trobe University. A huge thanks to the event patron and driving force behind not only the Olivia Newton‑John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre but also the Olivia Newton‑John Cancer Research Institute, Olivia Newton‑John, the inspiring patron herself.

It is the Education State in the Ivanhoe electorate. At Viewbank College, an $11.5 million new theatre and classroom redevelopment is complete at my old school. Banyule Primary School’s $3.47 million redevelopment is underway, on top of the $1 million for early works and planning allocated last year. At Ivanhoe Primary School, a $2 million four prep classrooms project has now been completed for next year, and a $4.5 million further redevelopment at Ivanhoe Primary School is underway. At Olympic Village Primary School there is $6 million for the new school in West Heidelberg.
