I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1) There were
7.18 FTE at Kununurra District High School as at term 4, 2013, and 3.41 FTE at
Wyndham District High School as at term 4, 2013.
(2) There are
7.82 FTE at Kununurra District High School as at 12 March 2015, and 2.70 FTE at
Wyndham District High School as at 12 March 2015. Funding for an additional 0.6
FTE through Community Development Employment Projects is available to Wyndham
District High School, so in fact that is pretty much the same.
(3) No. The
full name of the program is Clontarf Aboriginal Life Skills Program, and it is
running in 2015 at Kununurra District High School.
(4) There were
1.28 FTE at Kununurra District High School as at 12 March 2015. At Wyndham
District High School in 2015 a number of staff, including AIEOs and teaching
staff, have assumed all aspects of the school-based attendance officer role,
including home visits.
