I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1) I am
advised by the Department of Education that the number of teaching vacancies
varies on an hourly basis as schools lodge new vacancies and as vacancies are
filled. This will continue until the start of the 2013 school year.
(2) None. We
anticipate the same outcome as was achieved in 2011 and 2012, when all
vacancies were filled.
(3) Independent
public schools are conducting their own staffing processes. All other schools
are being supported by central staffing personnel to ensure that all vacancies
are filled.
(4) No.
