Education remains my number one priority and our students deserve the very best! The Aspire Centre and The Studios will provide state-of-the-art STEAM learning spaces, as well as a new canteen and café, which will also offer opportunities for hands-on learning! Delivering high-quality facilities to match the high quality of education at the school! The new leadership team and dedicated teachers and staff, under the direction of Principal Andrew Arney, have transformed this school and kids are thriving. I encourage you to take a tour and check it out. Labor has previously delivered $9.2 million for the new library, wellbeing spaces and a new senior and junior school. More recently, the outdoor areas and sports fields have been upgraded and look terrific. Some years ago, I helped deliver the wonderful Performing Arts Centre through a shared-use agreement with Council. With the $1 million Anthony Cianflone MP and I secured in the last budget for detailed planning, the buildings are ready to go! 🪏 We enjoyed sharing this exciting news with the school today and also had the opportunity to hear the inspiring young leaders speak about their strong values and aspirations. ❤️ Our future really is in good hands!😊 I always love visiting Glenroy College and seeing so much talent, brilliance and promise in the student body. They are truly living the school values of Achievement, Respect, Integrity and Teamwork. Quality public education is the cornerstone of a fair and equal society. I’m so proud that our Labor Government has committed to full funding of public schools, which I have strongly advocated for. This represents the biggest investment in Victorian schools ever and will deliver over $13 billion of additional funding ❤️😊🎉 Acknowledging the important role of teachers and support staff, Labor has also funded a 28% pay rise, making them the highest paid in the nation! I want to acknowledge and thank the outstanding school council for their work, dedication and advocacy, including our long-standing president Deb Clarke, along with Serpil Erdogan, Rose Nuttal, Susie Polatidis, Michelle Stephenson, Ambreen Tariq and Sara Baig. A great win for our students, our future and Glenroy! ❤️🎉😊 #workingforyou #glenroy #3046 #Labor #EducationState ![](https://election.computer/media/5702a3e76d0e89514dbcded5daf8b5a77bc91e502c38b675255d3f58578653ed?w=480) MP, Victoria # [Kathleen Matthews-Ward](https://election.computer/mp/kathleen-matthews-ward) [Kathleen Matthews-Ward](https://election.computer/mp/kathleen-matthews-ward), member for [Broadmeadows](https://election.computer/seats/vic/broadmeadows), [Labor](https://election.computer/party/labor) Paid for by Kathleen Matthews-Ward MP Spent $400–$499 Times shown 35K–40K Running since 26 Oct 2026 Still running. ## What the ad says Fabulous news!🎉❤️😊 After much advocacy I’ve secured a $19.3 million commitment for the Glenroy College STEAM Centre of Excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering, Design, Arts and Maths, from a re-elected Labor Government.
