AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) I am advised that performing
arts at Melville Senior High School use two rooms with bi-fold doors.
(2) There are
currently no plans for a new performing arts centre at Melville Senior High
School. I am advised by the Department of Education that the school has not
previously asked the department for a new performing arts centre. However, I am
familiar with Melville Senior High School and I have a lot to do with it. The
school has a good aeronautics program and a whole pile of things, but we will
need to consider this matter. It is a good school and a good alternative to
John Curtin College of the Arts. It is certainly something that we will
consider.
