QuestionView source ↗
I raise a serious matter in my electorate. Given that the Pingelly community received repeated assurances in my presence and most recently by the Narrogin district director that the Pingelly District High School would not be closed and that full public consultation would take place before a decision was made, I ask - (1) Why was it considered appropriate to advise parents of the schoolchildren and the community through the media last Friday that the school would be closed immediately? (2) Is the minister aware of the disappointment and anger about the decision that was expressed at a public meeting that was held yesterday and was attended by some 70 townsfolk? (3) Given that Pingelly is a recognised low-income community, how will parents who have already purchased the Pingelly school uniforms in anticipation of the new school year meet the costs of going to a brand-new school? (4) Is the minister aware that Pingelly is a growing town and is not a dying community? (5) Will the minister provide an assurance to all other wheatbelt communities that the government’s own guidelines for full public consultation will be followed in the future? Mr A.J. CARPENTER
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. I have been provided with the following advice from the minister’s office - (1) The school community was advised by post that only the secondary component of the Pingelly District High School would be closed. Low enrolments have resulted in a limited capacity to deliver a full curriculum. (2) Neither anybody from the minister’s office nor I has received any advice about the outcome or the proceedings of that meeting. Mr M.W. Trenorden : I was directed by the community to fight to keep the upper school open. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : I am not doubting that, but I did not receive any advice about the outcome of that meeting. (3) A $350 relocation allowance will be given to assist students of Pingelly District High School who are currently in years 7 to 9 to enrol in a government secondary school for 2006. (4) Enrolments in the secondary sector show a marked decline from 44 students in 2003 to a projected nine students in 2006. Future projections do not show an increase in student numbers. Mr M.W. Trenorden : That does not happen to be true. In four years it is projected to be 60. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : I do not have any other advice on that. (5) Schools will be assessed for closure in accordance with the current education act, with consultation as appropriate.
