(a) The estimated total cost of education support facilities at Butler Senior High School is $8.21 million.
As the education support facilities at Baldivis Senior High School are incorporated into the fabric of the total project and do not provide separate high level specialist facilities, it is not possible to disaggregate costs. The estimated cost of Baldivis Senior High School is $44 million.
(b) Butler Senior High School will be provided with a learning community for students with disability and high support needs. This learning community will include various teaching and learning spaces, staff areas, a physio-gym facility, hydrotherapy pool and associated support and storage facilities. In addition, another block of general learning areas will have an additional classroom that may be used by students with disability. The school is fully accessible and has universal access toilets throughout.
It is not planned to provide high level specialist facilities at Baldivis Senior High School. Like all new secondary schools, each block of general learning areas will have an additional classroom that may be used by students with disability.
(c) Butler Senior High School is designed to accommodate up to 70 students with disability, including those with high support needs, in the total population of over 1 200 students. Decisions about the number and organisation of classes will be made by the school.
The exact number of students with disability enrolling at Baldivis Senior High School will depend upon the number of students with disability living within the school catchment area choosing to enrol at the school. Decisions about the number and organisation of classes will be made by the school.
(d) Butler Senior High School will not be a stand-alone education support centre. It will be a regular senior high school that includes the high level specialist facilities equivalent to those found in education support schools. The exact nature of the staffing profile will be determined by the number and needs of the students enrolled in the school. Appropriately qualified staff, teachers and education assistants will be appointed to the school to meet the needs of the students.
Baldivis Senior High School will not be a stand-alone education support centre. It will be a regular senior high school and the exact nature of the staffing profile will be determined by the number and needs of the students enrolled in the school.
(e) Neither Butler nor Baldivis will be education support units as the Department no longer has designated education support units.
