I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) The
term ZZZ### ZZZschool officer'' was initially
used in the early publicQQQ ### QQQprivate partnership documentation; the definition has been renamed ZZZ### ZZZcaretaker services'' in the current PPP
documentation. The caretaker services role incorporates cleaning, gardening and
the facilitation of maintenance work on the school site. Caretaker services do
not include school officer services; the school officer role is an education
position. The Department of Education website will be amended to reflect the
updated definition of ZZZ### ZZZcaretaker services''.
