AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The Teen Family Centre and Day Care Centre is run independently of Balga Senior High School. It receives funding from a range of other sources, in addition to that provided by Balga Senior High School. For example, the day care centre is funded as any other childcare centre through JET—jobs, education and training—and Centrelink funding. The department also provides in-kind support, which is difficult to cost—for example, the use of facilities, building and garden maintenance. (1) The Department of Education does not directly allocate funds to the Teen Family Centre and Day Care Centre but Balga Senior High School provides resources in the form of curriculum support—that is, teacher full-time equivalent. This resource is equivalent to, $21 544 for 2009–10, and $24 344 for 2010–11. (2) The Department of Education does not directly provide funds to the Teen Family Centre and Day Care Centre but Balga Senior High School allocates resources in the form of curriculum support—that is, teacher FTE, and in 2011–12, this was $29 104.
