QuestionView source ↗
(1) Will the Minister confirm that he has received a letter dated 17 September 2003, from the Chairperson of the Newton Moore Senior High School Council?
(2) Is the letter accurate in its statement that on 22 June 2000, whilst he was the opposition spokesperson for Education, the Minister grieved to the then Minister for Education about ‘the total lack of adequate planning and provision of educational facilities’ in Bunbury and Australind?
(3) Has the Local Area Education Planning (LAEP) process produced a draft report?
(4) If not, why not, considering that the discussion round was supposed to finish in August 2003?
(5) Why has the Newton Moore Senior High School Council been left out of the LAEP process, such that to date the Council states that it has ‘had no input, nil consultation nor sight of this Draft’?
(6) When will the needs of the Newton Moore Senior High School be met, in particular, upgrading of the teaching areas?
(7) When will some of the pressure be taken off this school by the construction of a new high school at Dalyellup, where primary school attendance has risen from nil to over 300 in less than three years?
