No meeting has been organised by the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (VDEECD), Ballerrt Mooroop College (BMC) and Glenroy Specialist School (GSS) and the Minister to obtain his support for a modified BMC/GSS Site Plan for both schools and to secure major funds for a new "Gathering Place".
BMC Architect has reviewed the modified Plan from the joint negotiations between BMC, CoM, GSS and VDEECD (Bus bays can be reconfigured) and discussions are continuing on the Plan.
The new BMC Principal started on Monday and is settling in for the rest of the school year. Melbourne Rotary, the YMCA, and the Metricon Home Group having expressed an interest in supporting the school will be approached to set up a Working Group.
The Age article on Monday was rushed and pretty weak - and outside the borders of educational and cultural funding reality, I'm not sure whether it is worthy of a response.
Local Glennroy Residents are also expressing environmental concern about traffic, noise, pollution, residents health and the loss of the Public Park.
