EDUCATION - TRIAL BEHAVIOUR CENTRES
I refer to the minister’s announcement on 16 June 2007 that he would establish three trial behaviour centres for disruptive students. (1) Given that these centres were supposed to be operational by this month, when exactly will they be open to take students? (2) What is the precise location of each of the centres in Fremantle, Cannington and Kalgoorlie? (3) How many staff will work at each of the three centres? Mr E.S. Ripper interjected. Mr G.M. CASTRILLI : The fourth question is - (4) How many students will each centre cater for once they are established? Mr M. McGOWAN

(1)-(4) The Treasurer is correct: we should have had one of these centres here to cater for the unusual behaviour of the member for Vasse last night. The member for Bunbury is correct: we will open three behaviour centres, and we expect they will be opened very shortly. Indeed, one is already open. Three centres will be trialled. They will be located in the Canning district, Fremantle and Kalgoorlie. I cannot tell the member their exact locations, but one will be located on a school’s grounds and the other two will be located off school grounds. The exact number of students that will be accommodated at each centre is a matter for each centre and will be determined by their design. We are getting a range of designs so that we can investigate different types of models. My understanding, from memory, is that the centre in Belmont currently has 26 students. Each centre will be staffed appropriately. They will be fairly intensively staffed because of the issues that they will deal with as a result of the types of students who will go there. We are coming up with a new model to deal with behavioural issues in the classroom. As I have travelled around Western Australia, I have heard many teachers voice their concerns about some of the behaviour exhibited by a small percentage of students. We are trying to find a way to deal with some of the students who exhibit the most violent and disruptive behaviour. We are trying to cater for their needs so that we can get them back into a more mainstream frame of mind. We are trying also to meet the needs of the broader school community, which does not want to be disrupted by violent students. That is the model we have come up with. It is a trial. We will see how it goes and whether it is successful so that we can assess it for its future use.
