SCHOOLS — PUBLIC — YEAR OF CONSTRUCTION
454. Hon SUE ELLERY to the
Minister for Education:
How many Western Australian public schools currently
operating were built between 1950–1960, 1960–1970 and 1970–1980?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
I cannot provide this information today; I will provide it on
Thursday. The reason is that apparently when there is a change to a schoolXXX ###XXXs name, that date is given as the date that
school was built. They have to go through all the schools to work out the exact
date. I will have that information on Thursday.
