AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1) From the electronic records available to the State Law Publisher, I can confirm that Nazareth House, Geraldton, was certified as an efficient school in accordance with section 32 of the Education Amendment Act 1952 for the 1966 school year. Subsequent issues of the Government Gazette do not have a record for the school. (2) The earliest electronic record at the State Law Publisher is in 1966. In order to check the date on which the school was first declared efficient will require further research of the J.S. Battye Library of WA History. The Department of Education Services has undertaken to do this and will inform me of its findings in due course.
