Everyone should have access to a good education at a great local school.

Since I was elected in 2014 I have been successful in helping secure State Government funding for many of our local schools.

Wins for local schools include:

• $7.3 million for upgrades to Kensington Primary School.
• A new Docklands Primary School, which opened in 2021.
• A new second campus for North Melbourne Primary School, to open in 2023.
• $900,000 for traffic safety upgrades around Docklands Primary School, and we’re fighting for more.
• $300,000 in urgent repairs at Carlton North Primary School, and we’re working on more funding for important upgrades and maintenance.

I'm fighting for:

• More funding for urgent maintenance needs at Carlton North Primary School.
• More schools in the new Arden development.
• More public high schools for the inner city.
• Raising public school funding in Victoria, which has the lowest rate of public school funding of any state in Australia.
• Mental health professionals and psychologists in schools to help kids recover from the pandemic.
• A traffic management plan and further safety upgrades to roads around Docklands Primary school, including fixing the Footscray Rd/Docklands Drive intersection.
• Actually making public school free by abolishing extra fees for parents.
