CAMP SCHOOLS —
LEASING
259. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Minister for Education and
Training:
I refer to an advertisement in The
Weekend West on Saturday, 14 April 2018 inviting organisations and
businesses to register interest in leasing and operating six camps schools in
Bridgetown, Dampier, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, Pemberton and Point Peron, as well
as Landsdale Farm School.
(1) Will the
government support financially the ongoing operation of these facilities when
and if they transfer to other organisations and/or businesses to run?
(2) Why has the
minister not taken a similar approach with Moora Residential College?
