HIGH SCHOOLS - INCLUSION OF YEAR 7 STUDENTS
I think the minister has answered my question. (1) Has the minister received a report from the Department of Education and Training on recommendations for the proposed shift of year 7 to secondary schooling? (2) If yes, will the minister explain the recommendation contained within the report; and, if not, why not? (3) If yes to (1), will the minister table the report; and, if not, why not? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1) This is what I was trying to clarify earlier. I have received a technical study prepared by the department, which is an internal research and planning document. (2) As the study is an internal working document, I have asked the department to further investigate the costs and impacts. If there is evidence to suggest that moving year 7 students into high school has merit, there would be extensive public consultation prior to making a decision on the future placement of year 7 students. (3) As this is an internal research and planning document, it will not be tabled.
