Labor is committed to building better schools for local students, and supporting jobs for local tradies.

Schools play a pivotal role in shaping the future of individuals and societies by providing education, knowledge, and skills to students, and having great facilities within schools is of paramount importance.

Well-designed classrooms create an optimal learning environment, fostering concentration and engagement. 

It's important to ensure local students are able to use classrooms that are safe, compliant and modern.

I will continue to work with local schools for the best outcomes for local students.
