I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(2) With regard to the Perth Modern School initiative, I understand that we have called for expressions of interest for students wishing to take a place at that specialist school. We anticipate that between 80 and 100 students will take up boarding facility options. A certain number of those places will be earmarked specifically for regional and rural students. I do not have the exact number now, but I am happy to provide the member with specific details.
