I thank the member for some notice of this question. I am only too happy to provide a response. Hon Norman Moore : You gave her the question to ask. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : That is not true. Hon Norman Moore : I saw it. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : The Leader of the Opposition does not know what I gave her. He has no idea what I gave her. However, I am more than happy to answer this question. One of the great achievements of the Carpenter government - there are so many - is that it is pouring an unprecedented amount of funding into improving the capital infrastructure of public schools. Members will already be aware that we had projected, over the four-year period, that 39 new schools would be built. That has now increased to 40 schools. We have also allocated $300 million to upgrades and another $600 million to repairs and maintenance. This is an example of a fantastic facility for the benefit of the community in Atwell. The other day I was at Sawyers Valley Primary School. When I went to that school, I was greeted very warmly by the school community. I had gone there because it was a very important occasion for the members of the Sawyers Valley school community. They have been waiting for a new resource centre for 30 years. One parents and citizens association after another had written to the department. We ended up with boxes of correspondence about this new facility at Sawyers Valley Primary School. Therefore, members can imagine the delight on the faces of the students and the rest of the school community when I was able to go there and open that school facility. Atwell’s new school will be a state-of-the-art facility. It will be a new secondary school and will also incorporate support education facilities within the general learning areas. This is a landmark project in the Western Australian education system. Hon Peter Collier : Will it include year 7? The PRESIDENT : Order, Hon Peter Collier! Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : It will provide dedicated facilities for students with special needs, as well as shared areas to integrate all students within the school. The total cost of this project alone is $36 million. Hon Simon O’Brien interjected. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : It is $36 million that the Liberal Party did not invest in Atwell when it was in government. The member can criticise this government all he likes, but it is $36 million that the previous government could not find. I am very proud of the Carpenter government’s achievement in capital infrastructure. This is a great development in strengthening the education community of Atwell. I thank the honourable member for asking me such an important question.

I am very proud of the Carpenter government’s achievement in capital infrastructure. This is a great development in strengthening the education community of Atwell. I thank the honourable member for asking me such an important question.
Hon Norman Moore : I saw it. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : The Leader of the Opposition does not know what I gave her. He has no idea what I gave her. However, I am more than happy to answer this question. One of the great achievements of the Carpenter government - there are so many - is that it is pouring an unprecedented amount of funding into improving the capital infrastructure of public schools. Members will already be aware that we had projected, over the four-year period, that 39 new schools would be built. That has now increased to 40 schools. We have also allocated $300 million to upgrades and another $600 million to repairs and maintenance. This is an example of a fantastic facility for the benefit of the community in Atwell. The other day I was at Sawyers Valley Primary School. When I went to that school, I was greeted very warmly by the school community. I had gone there because it was a very important occasion for the members of the Sawyers Valley school community. They have been waiting for a new resource centre for 30 years. One parents and citizens association after another had written to the department. We ended up with boxes of correspondence about this new facility at Sawyers Valley Primary School. Therefore, members can imagine the delight on the faces of the students and the rest of the school community when I was able to go there and open that school facility. Atwell’s new school will be a state-of-the-art facility. It will be a new secondary school and will also incorporate support education facilities within the general learning areas. This is a landmark project in the Western Australian education system. Hon Peter Collier : Will it include year 7? The PRESIDENT : Order, Hon Peter Collier! Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : It will provide dedicated facilities for students with special needs, as well as shared areas to integrate all students within the school. The total cost of this project alone is $36 million. Hon Simon O’Brien interjected. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : It is $36 million that the Liberal Party did not invest in Atwell when it was in government. The member can criticise this government all he likes, but it is $36 million that the previous government could not find.
