Consultant's report out soon!

With support from local MPs, the SKY Working Group has been informing the Spatial Vision consultancy,
who are reporting to the Education Department about the need for a public secondary school for
the catchment centred on Seddon, Kingsville and Yarraville.

SKY High is looking to extend its active membership in 2010.
We are looking for new people to bring ideas and views.

Come to our next meeting at 8:00 pm Monday 08 February 2010 at the Yarraville Club.



(Please send us more photos and videos for our Gallery!)

The 1000+ parents and children of Seddon Kingsville Yarraville who 'Rode/Walked to No School' and gathered at Beaton Reserve on 24 October showed that a new public secondary school is needed!

Wade Noonan, MP (Williamstown) and Marsha Thomson MP (Footscray) announced to the rally that the Minister for Education has appointed the independent consultants Spatial Vision to complete a study to confirm the need a new school. The SKY High Working Group are informing this report.
