AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. No. I am advised that the current enrolment growth at Dunsborough Primary School is insufficient to warrant a review of the secondary education plan for the Busselton-Dunsborough area. Enrolments at Dunsborough Primary School have increased from 396 students in 2004 to 414 students in 2005. A local area education plan has been developed in recent years for the Busselton-Dunsborough area. Substantial community consultation occurred in the preparation of the plan. The proposal to establish a new secondary school in Vasse in 2007 has been strongly supported by the community. Secondary students resident in Dunsborough and Yallingup will be entitled to attend the new school in Vasse when it is opened in 2007. Hon Barry House : That is the bureaucrats’ response. Will you have a look at it as the new minister? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : Sure. I will have a look at it.
