Opposition success in holding the Minns Labor Government to account. We’ve worked with the Sutherland Public School P&C to force the Government to now backflip and commit to build the new hall as previously promised.
The Minns Labor Government wants to break its election promise to build a new hall at Sutherland Public School accommodating the entire school population. The P&C has called them out. The Government is looking for cuts everywhere. We’re demanding that they keep their promise.

Almost all these 18 school projects were announced, planned and funded under the NSW Liberals and Nationals. @smitchellmlc
School's back. And as of today, 18 new and upgraded schools are open across NSW. Here's a look at a couple of them. 👇

The Premier didn’t even know that his Government axed the Back to School vouchers! 😳🤦🏻‍♀️ He’s completely out of touch with the cost of living pressures that families are facing in NSW.
The Premier has made a blunder about a cost of living issue. Despite his government scrapping Back to School vouchers last year, Chris Minns has told a news conference they're still available. 7NEWS.com.au #7NEWS

Cost of living is the biggest issue facing NSW families. @ChrisMinnsMP should continue the former Government’s Back to School vouchers - cost of living assistance which gave all parents $150 in vouchers per child to help with costs of school supplies, uniforms and technology.

Your commitments @pruecar? The high school that the Libs and Nats announced, designed, planned and fully funded? The one that @GeoffLeeMP and I turned the sod for in October last year? #takingcreditforotherpeopleswork
Making our commitments concrete! 👷🏻‍♀️✅ This is the first concrete slab for the new high school at Wentworth Point.

These are challenging economic times, but NSW is heading in the right direction. We can’t risk Chris Minns and Labor. #nswpol

Sydney families are being hit with a long list of expenses, with the start of school just around the corner. But nearly $80 million is sitting in unclaimed vouchers - and time is running out to apply for another program worth $500. @AnnaliseBolt #9News

Thanks for politicising the childcare service in Bathurst, and the children who attend, who welcomed me with a lovely sign. Classy as usual from @ChrisMinnsMP and @NSWLabor 🙄
Here's the NSW Education Minister reading today's news after claiming that teacher shortages are a “beat-up” and “just not true” 💀 (1/5)

If you’re in a flood affected area and can’t make it to your #HSC2022 exams, please don’t stress. Just let your school know and everything will be ok. NESA have a process for anyone who can’t sit their exams to make sure you receive a fair mark and you won’t be disadvantaged. – at Sydney, New South Wales
#HSC2022 students: We are continuing to monitor floods in parts of NSW as you sit exams. Always contact your school if you have any concerns about getting to an exam venue. We have processes in place to support you. If it safe to do, attend your exam. Your safety is always #1.
