Community Forum for Northcote, Preston, Thornbury, Reservoir, Fairfield and Alphington

Public Schools - "Full Funding” is just the beginning!

The state Labor Government refuses to fully fund Victoria’s public schools. 

Schools and teachers in our community do an amazing job despite being the most underfunded and the lowest paid. 

Schools in Melbourne’s north have been neglected for too long.

Even if so called ‘full funding’ is achieved, we have a long way to go to truly become the Education State.

As a community, we are coming together to get change. Come along to hear from local public school staff, parents and students. Learn how we push for proper school funding and support teachers to get proper pay and conditions.

Speakers:

  • Melissa Brown - AEU Regional President and teacher

  • Lucy Honan - AEU member and teacher

  • Campbell Gome - AEU member, teacher and former assistant principal

  • Billy Green - Recent graduate from Thornbury High School

  • Anasina Gray-Barberio - Greens MP for Northern Metro

We will also hear from parents and education support staff
