Schools in Mitchell electorate

New figures from the Department of Education reveal that schools in the Mitchell electorate are bursting at the seams, as they have been for many years.

Their infrastructure is over 60 years old and in desperate need of upgrades. Four of our local public schools—Matthew Pearce, Rouse Hill, Castle Hill and North Kellyville—are ranked amongst the 20 biggest primary schools in the state by enrolment, boasting over a thousand students each. There have been demountables at these schools for a long time now. I am concerned that Labor government infrastructure spending on public schools isn't adequate to meet the demands in growth areas.

I am calling on the Labor state government to adequately fund this crucial need in our community
