JURIEN BAY DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL — REMOVAL OF YEAR 11 AND 12 COURSES
I have a supplementary question. The minister says this is not about saving money. If that is the case, why will she not immediately reinstate the funding and end the fear and uncertainty for parents? Dr E. CONSTABLE

This is about providing the very best education for students in years 11 and 12. Some of those district high schools under question are those that already have bus services. We are saying to parents that their children can either take a bus to a senior high school that provides many more opportunities for children or they can stay in their district high school where education services will be available to them. I am sure we would all agree that a young person — Mr B.S. Wyatt : You should not have to travel a 250-kay round trip to go to school. The SPEAKER : Member for Victoria Park. Several members interjected. Dr E. CONSTABLE : Mr Speaker, bus services — Mr B.S. Wyatt interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Victoria Park, I formally call you for the first time. Minister for Education. Dr E. CONSTABLE : The schools in question are those that already had bus services available. We are saying to parents that they have a choice. Their children can take the service that is already there to a larger senior high school or stay at their district high school where courses will be available to them.
