AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(4) I appreciate the question from the member for Churchlands. It is a good question, and it gives me the opportunity to underline the additional support that the Government is providing to Western Australian schools for behaviour management and discipline issues for students in years 8 and 9. I have with me the list of schools that was part of the press release. Several members interjected. Mr CARPENTER: I did not table it, and it was not part of my ministerial statement, because to read out the names of the 40 schools would have taken up a significant part of my speech. However, I did offer to provide all members with a copy of that list, and I can still do that. Mr Barnett: Read out the list now. Mr CARPENTER: I am happy to do that. It will not take long. The schools that will be the recipients of the Government’s additional resources for years 8 and 9 are scattered from the far north to the far south of the State and are: Armadale, Balcatta, Belmont City College, Broome, Cannington, Carnarvon, Cecil Andrews, Clarkson, Collie, Coodanup, Derby, Eastern Goldfields, Esperance, Fitzroy Crossing, Forrestfield, Gosnells, Governor Stirling, Hamilton, Hedland, Katanning, Kelmscott, Kent Street, Kununurra, Kwinana, Lockridge, Mandurah, Manjimup, Newton Moore, North Albany, Northam, Rockingham, Safety Bay, South Fremantle, Swan View, Toodyay and Warnbro. Dr Constable: How many extra teachers will there be? Mr CARPENTER: I will get to that. The schools that have behaviour management issues that fit the criteria will be given extra teachers and financial resources so that they can, as the member for Avon asked for yesterday, buy from their local community the expertise that they need. These schools may want youth workers, school chaplains or psychologists, or people with other types of expertise. The Government wants to give local schools, which know their own problems and children, the flexibility to deal with their behaviour management issues using their own initiatives and programs. The Leader of the Opposition should be pleased with this program, because it is one that he initiated, to a small degree, when he was in government. Mr Barnett: So it is not a new concept, is it? Mr CARPENTER: The previous Government initiated this program, and this Government is taking it on. It is a very good program. I guarantee to provide members opposite with a list of all the schools, teachers and financial allocations.

EDUCATION, BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT AND DISCIPLINE PROGRAM
I refer to the minister’s brief ministerial statement yesterday about the behaviour management and discipline program in 40 high schools. (1) How many extra teachers will be employed with the $3 million allocated to reduce class sizes in years 8 and 9? (2) What impact will the extra teachers have on class sizes in years 8 and 9 in those 40 schools? (3) Will the minister table the list of schools selected for this program? (4) What were the criteria for selecting the 40 high schools that will be involved in the program? Mr CARPENTER replied: (1)-(4) I appreciate the question from the member for Churchlands.

Mr CARPENTER: The previous Government initiated this program, and this Government is taking it on. It is a very good program. I guarantee to provide members opposite with a list of all the schools, teachers and financial allocations.
(1) How many extra teachers will be employed with the $3 million allocated to reduce class sizes in years 8 and 9? (2) What impact will the extra teachers have on class sizes in years 8 and 9 in those 40 schools? (3) Will the minister table the list of schools selected for this program? (4) What were the criteria for selecting the 40 high schools that will be involved in the program? Mr CARPENTER replied: (1)-(4) I appreciate the question from the member for Churchlands. It is a good question, and it gives me the opportunity to underline the additional support that the Government is providing to Western Australian schools for behaviour management and discipline issues for students in years 8 and 9. I have with me the list of schools that was part of the press release. Several members interjected. Mr CARPENTER: I did not table it, and it was not part of my ministerial statement, because to read out the names of the 40 schools would have taken up a significant part of my speech. However, I did offer to provide all members with a copy of that list, and I can still do that. Mr Barnett: Read out the list now. Mr CARPENTER: I am happy to do that. It will not take long. The schools that will be the recipients of the Government’s additional resources for years 8 and 9 are scattered from the far north to the far south of the State and are: Armadale, Balcatta, Belmont City College, Broome, Cannington, Carnarvon, Cecil Andrews, Clarkson, Collie, Coodanup, Derby, Eastern Goldfields, Esperance, Fitzroy Crossing, Forrestfield, Gosnells, Governor Stirling, Hamilton, Hedland, Katanning, Kelmscott, Kent Street, Kununurra, Kwinana, Lockridge, Mandurah, Manjimup, Newton Moore, North Albany, Northam, Rockingham, Safety Bay, South Fremantle, Swan View, Toodyay and Warnbro. Dr Constable: How many extra teachers will there be? Mr CARPENTER: I will get to that. The schools that have behaviour management issues that fit the criteria will be given extra teachers and financial resources so that they can, as the member for Avon asked for yesterday, buy from their local community the expertise that they need. These schools may want youth workers, school chaplains or psychologists, or people with other types of expertise. The Government wants to give local schools, which know their own problems and children, the flexibility to deal with their behaviour management issues using their own initiatives and programs. The Leader of the Opposition should be pleased with this program, because it is one that he initiated, to a small degree, when he was in government. Mr Barnett: So it is not a new concept, is it? Mr CARPENTER: The previous Government initiated this program, and this Government is taking it on. It is a very good program. I guarantee to provide members opposite with a list of all the schools, teachers and financial allocations.
