I thank the member for Alfred Cove for some notice of the question. I am presuming that, in asking the question, the member is a supporter of Perth Modern? Dr J.M. Woollard : Yes, and I am very much a supporter of music. Mr N.R. MARLBOROUGH : I thought the member was going to say of me. I thought that she told me in the corridor before I left that she supported me. Several members interjected. Mr N.R. MARLBOROUGH : The answer is - (1)-(3) On behalf of the minister, I advise that gifted music students who do not gain a place at Perth Modern School will be able to apply for a place within the Churchlands Senior High School music programs. The department is currently investigating the establishment of music programs for 2008 in other public schools through a review. At a personal level, I was able to bring the president of Rossmoyne Senior High School, Sue Burton, who is related to me, to a meeting with the minister only a matter of a few weeks ago to discuss the excellent music program at Rossmoyne and its concerns that that excellent music program, which has been outstanding for years, may be affected by Perth Modern becoming a music school. I am delighted that that meeting was able to take place and that some consideration will be given to that school and other schools in 2008. Music programs will not be channelled into one or two schools, particularly those north of the river. Dr J.M. Woollard : Will it be the same number of students and funding? Mr N.R. MARLBOROUGH : I will find that out. I do not have that advice. Dr J.M. Woollard : It was in the question. Mr N.R. MARLBOROUGH : The information is not in the answer. I will find out the exact details because I do not want to mislead the member. The member has agreed with the concept at Perth Modern. Dr J.M. Woollard : Not if it means music will miss out. Mr N.R. MARLBOROUGH : I will get the details for the member. Suffice to say Perth Modern is about excellence and I would not expect it to be based on excellence by seeing budgets cut. Dr J.M. Woollard : Will you get the answer by the end of the day? Mr N.R. MARLBOROUGH : I will try to get it by the end of the day.

I thought that she told me in the corridor before I left that she supported me. Several members interjected. Mr N.R. MARLBOROUGH : The answer is - (1)-(3) On behalf of the minister, I advise that gifted music students who do not gain a place at Perth Modern School will be able to apply for a place within the Churchlands Senior High School music programs. The department is currently investigating the establishment of music programs for 2008 in other public schools through a review. At a personal level, I was able to bring the president of Rossmoyne Senior High School, Sue Burton, who is related to me, to a meeting with the minister only a matter of a few weeks ago to discuss the excellent music program at Rossmoyne and its concerns that that excellent music program, which has been outstanding for years, may be affected by Perth Modern becoming a music school. I am delighted that that meeting was able to take place and that some consideration will be given to that school and other schools in 2008. Music programs will not be channelled into one or two schools, particularly those north of the river. Dr J.M. Woollard : Will it be the same number of students and funding? Mr N.R. MARLBOROUGH : I will find that out. I do not have that advice. Dr J.M. Woollard : It was in the question. Mr N.R. MARLBOROUGH : The information is not in the answer. I will find out the exact details because I do not want to mislead the member. The member has agreed with the concept at Perth Modern. Dr J.M. Woollard : Not if it means music will miss out. Mr N.R. MARLBOROUGH : I will get the details for the member. Suffice to say Perth Modern is about excellence and I would not expect it to be based on excellence by seeing budgets cut. Dr J.M. Woollard : Will you get the answer by the end of the day? Mr N.R. MARLBOROUGH : I will try to get it by the end of the day.
I thank the member for Alfred Cove for some notice of the question. I am presuming that, in asking the question, the member is a supporter of Perth Modern? Dr J.M. Woollard : Yes, and I am very much a supporter of music. Mr N.R. MARLBOROUGH : I thought the member was going to say of me.
