participating in the trial and what is the status of the trial?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some
notice of the question.
(1) No. However,
the south metropolitan education region supports an initiative known as primary
academic classes at two schools—Wattle Grove Primary School and
Caladenia Primary School. This is consistent with the Department of Education's
policy of encouraging schools to develop programs that respond to local
community and student need.
(2) Not applicable.
