PRIMARY SCHOOLS — CHILDCARE CENTRES
225. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education and
Training:
(1) Will the minister table a list of all primary schools
officially opened since March 2017?
(2) Of those
referred to in (1), will the minister advise which schools have a dedicated
site for a childcare centre incorporated into their design?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Aspiri Primary School; Aveley North Primary
School; Oakwood Primary School; Rapids Landing Primary School; Southern Grove Primary School; Wellard
Primary School; Grandis Primary School; Beenyup Primary School;
Caversham Valley Primary School; Sheoak Grove Primary School; Brabham Primary
School; North Harrisdale Primary School; Pine View Primary School, today;
Yanchep Rise Primary School; and Yarralinka Primary School.
(2) All new metropolitan schools opened since March
2017 have entered into agreements with out-of-school-hours care providers to provide a service on their
school site. To ensure new schools can be built with a childcare centre,
the Western Australian Planning Commission's Operational policy 2.4:
Planning for school sites has been reviewed and will be updated to enable
larger school sites to be acquired. Notwithstanding this requirement for the
policy change, the Department of Education was able to plan the Yarralinka
Primary School to include a childcare centre.
