I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Yes.
(2) I table the
attached information.
[See paper 2554.]
(3) The premise
of the question is incorrect. A decision was made to adopt a Western Australian–specific
program based on feedback from the lead agency, the Department of Communities,
as well as the Department of Education and the School Curriculum and Standards
Authority about what was best for Western Australian schools. Concerns were
incorrectly raised in the media that the model to be implemented here was the
same as the Victorian model. That is not the case.
(4) Not
applicable.
