Melton councillor Lara Carli goes back to school

Melton City councillor Lara Carli swapped the council chambers for the classroom last week and loved every minute of it.

The Watts ward councillor was principal for a day at Taylors Hill Primary School and was amazed at how hard staff and students work to create a positive learning environment.

“It was a fantastic day,” Cr Carli said. “It’s a beautiful school and I was amazed how much older students know about local government.”

Cr Carli received a guided tour from the senior classes and was treated like a celebrity by the ever-inquisitive preps.
