ESPERANCE
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
995. Hon STEVE MARTIN to the Minister for Education and
Training:
I refer to a recent response letter sent to a group of
community members representing the Esperance Senior High School campus upgrade
committee.
(1) Are there
any examples of other schools or groups in Western Australia that have been
asked to fund their own master plan for what is essentially Department of
Education infrastructure?
(2) If so, how many and who are they?
(3) Is there a
guarantee of funding for the Esperance Senior High School upgrade once the
master plan has been created?

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
I provide the following answer on behalf of the Minister for Education and
Training.
(1)–(3)
The Department of Education has not asked Esperance Senior High School to
produce its own master plan. Schools and
school boards may choose to undertake preliminary planning, feasibility
studies, master plans or business cases. Some examples are Woodvale
Secondary College, Sevenoaks Senior College, Ballajura Community College, John
Curtin College of the Arts and Albany Senior High School. Esperance Senior High School has been allocated
$1.5 million in funding as part of an election commitment for STEM
upgrades.
