Dear Minister,
We, the parents and students of the Lalor North Primary School family, together with representatives from local Greek community education groups recognise you as a great supporter of multicultural education and promoter of community languages in the public education system. We praise and commend the State Government for implementing great initiatives to ensure that community languages are well embedded in Victorian Schools and especially Lalor North Primary School.
As far as Melbourne’s Greek Community is concerned, the Greek Bilingual Program at Lalor North Primary School is the pride of bilingual public education and enjoys wide recognition due to its quality outcomes, high calibre of educators and the manner the local community supports and embraces the Program.
