QuestionView source ↗
I refer to students attending Withers Primary School, Adam Road Primary School and Dalyellup Primary School, in the Bunbury area, and ask -
(1) What are the current numbers of students enrolled at, -
(a) Withers Primary School;
(b) Adam Road Primary School; and
(c) Dalyellup Primary School?
(2) How many primary school-aged students from Dalyellup Primary school are attending classes at the Dalyellup College campus?
(3) Has any planning been undertaken towards the provision of a new primary school at Dalyellup to relieve the population pressures on Dalyellup Primary School that will occur when the numbers of secondary school-aged students at Dalyellup College are sufficient to fully utilise that campus?
(4) Have parents of primary school aged children living in Gelorup and College Grove, who wish to send their children to a Government primary school, been advised to enrol their children at Dalyellup Primary School?
(5) If yes to (4), why has this advice been given when the crowding at Dalyellup Primary School is far greater than at the other two Primary Schools, children from these areas have traditionally enrolled at Withers and Adam Road Primary Schools and College Grove is geographically almost equidistant from Dalyellup, Withers and Adam Road Primary Schools?

The gazetted catchment area for Dalyellup College (Primary students) is the northern area of the Shire of Capel. The local area intake provides for children living in Gelorup, Stratham and on Dalyellup Beach Estate to attend Dalyellup College.
Children living in College Grove are not part of the school's local intake area and are zoned to attend Adam Road/ Withers Primary schools.
Currently, 15 students residing in College Grove attend Dalyellup College. These students enrolled prior to College Grove not being in the local intake area for Dalyellup Primary, and, once enrolled, have been allowed to continue their schooling at Dalyellup Primary/College.
New students living in College Grove and attempting to enrol at Dalyellup Primary/College have not been able to do so, being directed to Adam Road and Withers Primary Schools instead.
