(1) No.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) This is
yet to be determined and I am considering arrangements that may provide for the
enrolment of non-government school students at Geraldton Residential College.
(4) Not
applicable.
The member would be aware that the
issue here is that Nagle Catholic College is closing. That has created an issue
with those students from not only the Catholic school, but also the non-government school. I am
very conscious of this issue, but, according to the act, as the honourable
member would know, the actual hostel must go to public school students. I want
to facilitate a situation in which all students have access to accommodation,
but we have to make sure that we get it right. I am almost there with this
issue.
