AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. I put on record my appreciation to the members of the community of Gnowangerup for the very hard work that they do in supporting the local schools there, in particular the agricultural facility. Also, I record my thanks to them for the very special interest that they have taken in the small number of students who have attended that agricultural school. However, there has been some pressure on me to make a decision about how that facility can best be used for the future. In direct response to the questions that the member has asked - (1) The current programs involving enrolment of high-risk students will cease at the end of 2005. Gnowangerup Agricultural School will continue operations as a regional resource centre managed through the local area education planning process and will be available to other schools to augment their curriculum offerings. (2) The full-time student residential accommodation will cease to operate at the end of 2005. The residential accommodation will be available for short-term programs. (3) No decision has been made about the infrastructure and assets at Gnowangerup Agricultural School. (4) No. (5) A project officer has been appointed to examine future use of the site by other schools, including campuses of the Western Australian College of Agriculture. (6) The present program will cease at the end of 2005. (7) No decisions have been made about the present work force. Planning for 2006 will determine the work force requirements. A human resource management plan is being developed in consultation with the employees and will provide a number of options for affected employees. They will be handled in the same way that all employees are handled when there are changes such as this. They will, therefore, be handled in a very fair manner, depending on the outcome of the consultative process.

Also, I record my thanks to them for the very special interest that they have taken in the small number of students who have attended that agricultural school.
