THS Redevelopment Project

RAISE AWARENESS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA

Many politicians are active on social media and you can also help mobilise the local community by promoting the campaign, and this website, among your friends and followers.

Topics to post about include:

Let Kat Theophanous (ALP), Minister for Education James Merlino and your local Member know that they need to publicly state their support for funding the final stage (new outdoor recreation spaces, new entrance and administration wing, and refurbishment of remaining learning spaces) and encourage their Victorian state colleagues to publicly commit to funding stages 3 and 4.
Remind the Victorian Minister for Education (James Merlino) and the member for Northcote (Kat Theophanous) that, while we have made a great start, we need to "finish the job" which means committing to funding Stage 3 (new outdoor recreation spaces, new entrance and administration wing, and refurbishment of remaining learning spaces) of the redevelopment (which we currently estimate will be in excess of $12 million).
Any of the compelling reasons for redeveloping the school which are outlined under 'Why Develop Thornbury High School' on The Campaign page of this website.
Any of the benefits that will result from the redevelopment project - see 'The Benefits' section on the homepage.

Tagging, hashtags, links, sharing and likes.

When posting on social media make sure you tag the Minister for Education, the state member for Northcote, your own local member and the member for the Federal seat of Cooper:

Minister for Education – James Merlino @JamesMerlinoMP
ALP member for Northcote – Kat Theophanous @katfornorthcote
ALP member for Cooper – Ged Kearney @gedKearney
your local state member

You can also use the hashtags #OurSchoolOurCommunity, #SpringSt, #thsredevelopment and #ProjectTHS to make your posts easier to find by our supporters and online community.

Today my son read me a story he wrote in his English class. He’s never done that before. It was a pretty funny story (and he knew it!). Hope the next government gets real about rebuilding Thornbury High after this election.
