Petition push for new school

A PETITION calling for a new primary school in Pakenham has received 300 signatures, and counting.
Residents pushing for a new statefunded school in the Heritage Springs estate said their efforts had won plenty of support in the community.
A recent public meeting saw a taskforce established to spearhead efforts to lobby State Government to make funding available in next year’s budget. Pakenham parent Claire Johnson said a new school was desperately needed.
The taskforce will meet again next Monday, 24 October.
