AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The Department of Education and Training has no current plans to provide a covered walkway adjacent to the transportable classrooms at the school. However, the school may wish to consider funding the provision of a covered walkway with its school-based minor works funds. (2) It is understood that power outages have been experienced in localised areas of the school as a result of having too many computers connected to one residual current device. Arrangements have been made for a contractor to investigate this matter this week. (3) A future primary school site has been earmarked in the new Rapids Landing subdivision, south east of Margaret River. It is anticipated that this land will be transferred to the Department of Education and Training in about 18 months. (4) Margaret River Primary School will continue to be considered in relation to the needs of other schools when the details of future capital works programs are being compiled.
