I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich :
Very nice!
Hon PETER COLLIER : I thank the member and I very
enthusiastically provide a response —
(1) Yes, a request was made for the
school to be included in the roof replacement program in 2011.
(2) An
alternative action that involved the removal, cleaning and reinstatement of all
roof tiles at the school was undertaken and completed in 2011 to address the
issue of the roof leaks. This work involved the replacement of broken and
damaged tiles.

tiled roof.
