Grade 5 student Roberta Wooles faces the prospect of heading to high school without her three best friends as a zoning issue sends children in Altona Meadows split “every which way”.
Roberta Wooles has played with her three best friends every day since prep. But when she heads to high school in two years, none of them will go with her.
Parents in Altona Meadows have now revived a decades-long campaign to get better access to high school for their children, both through the introduction of new zoning to allow expanded enrolment at Altona College and eventually the construction of a local high school, which was once earmarked for development but never built.
Brusa said data showed Altona Meadows had higher student populations than Altona, Williamstown and Williamstown North, all of which had their own high schools. For the personal trainer, who runs classes from home, getting two children to primary school in Altona Meadows and completing a return trip via the gridlocked Point Cook Road in time to run her business would be impossible.
“Why would you send Altona Meadows [families] into Point Cook when it’s already so gridlocked with traffic? We don’t need to be there. We don’t have a reason to go into Point Cook.”
