The Lindenow South community received some positive news today, with a decision made to keep the primary school open.

We are pleased for the families and broader community that common sense has prevailed.

We thank the Member for Gippsland East Tim Bull MP for the work he has done with the community on achieving this result, and likewise the Deputy Premier and Minister for Education Ben Carroll MP for his intervention.

Primary schools are an important part of the fabric of our small communities. We want the best for the children, their families and the Lindenow South community. This includes students being supported to learn and grow in their own school.

We look forward to seeing how the school will be supported to remain operating well into the future.

- Mayor Cr John White
