(a) 772 as at the census date in semester 1, 2018. These figures comprise kindergarten and full-time students.
(b) 770 students.
(c) On 17 April 2018, the Western Australian Planning Commission granted approval for the Vasse Development Area Development Guide Plan, which confirmed a new location of the new primary school site. The Department of Education has not commenced discussions with the landowner regarding acquiring the site. The timeframe for the development of a second primary school in the Vasse area has not been determined. The Department will continue to assess the school’s projected student enrolments to determine when a new school is required in the Vasse precinct.
