(1) The Padbury Senior High School site will provide for the co-location of services, providing specialist support for students and schools including literacy and numeracy, English as a second language and dialect, behaviour management, student disability including deaf and hard of hearing and an early intervention centre, speech and language development, curriculum and vocational educational. These services will be progressively located at Padbury through 2012.
(2) Planning is currently being made for some refurbishment to be undertaken including modifications to meet the requirements of the new Building Act.
(3) It is expected that the relocation will be undertaken in stages. The Department of Education is working with Building Management and Works to finalise scope and final costs.
(4)(a) At this stage it is anticipated that the work will commence in February 2012.
(4)(b) As the scoping and costings are still being finalised, it is premature to nominate a completion date.
