AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Twenty-seven kindergarten students were enrolled. (2) Forty-five students are expected, and they will be accommodated in two purpose-built early childhood facilities. (3) None. (4) All eligible children are guaranteed a place in kindergarten or preprimary, if not at a local school, then within their local area. Consistent with the Department of Education and Training’s enrolment policy, if children are unable to be accommodated at the school of their parents’ choice, parents will be assisted in enrolling their children in another school or community kindergarten within their local area. Kindergarten students can be accommodated at Byford Community Kindergarten, Forrestdale Community Kindergarten, Byford Primary School, Mundijong Primary School, Gwynne Park Primary School and Serpentine Primary School. The capacity of these schools to provide kindergarten places far exceeds the number of places required. With regard to planning for future populations, the Department of Education and Training has processes in place that enable student populations to be monitored at school, district and system levels. This information is used to guide planning for the provision of facilities and services. (5) The nearest kindergartens are Byford and Forrestdale, which cater for 13 and 28 children respectively.
