Technically, the subject is “society and the environment” rather than “social studies”. Hon Kim Chance : It changed in 1956. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : Yes. I thank the member for some notice of his question, and I provide the following response. Geraldton Senior High School did not meet the criteria as agreed by the Department of Education and Training. However, the department continues to monitor schools with shortages with a view to considering, on a case-by-case basis, them for extra funding. The department is currently reviewing the staffing situation at Geraldton Senior High School.
