Notice of this question was given to
the Minister for Education and Training on Tuesday, 11 September, so I hope it
is in the file.
I refer to the minister's
media statement dated 8 September 2018 regarding camp schools and the Landsdale
Farm School, which states that a change in structure will deliver an estimated
$3.18 million in net annual savings.

million is attributable to Landsdale Farm School?

a breakdown of savings attributed to each of the camp schools?
(3) Has this $3.18 million changed
from the previous savings estimates?
(4) If yes to (3), can the minister
please provide details?
