MOORA RESIDENTIAL COLLEGE — HON DARREN WEST
— COMMENTS
284. Hon JIM CHOWN to the Minister for
Education and Training:
I refer to informal
discussions Hon Darren West had at the Western Australian Local Government
Association conference on 5 April 2018, with two Moora Shire Councillors,
regarding Moora Residential College.
(1)
Is the minister prepared to have an independent assessment take place into
Moora Residential College, over the upcoming school holidays in April 2018, as
stated by Hon Darren West to two Moora shire councillors?
(2)
During that same conversation, Hon Darren West provided assurances that $500 000
would be found, if the independent assessment indicated that the expenditure of
this amount will allow the college to operate. Does the minister agree with
this statement?
