AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for the question, and for his support. (1)-(4) I remember visiting the area a couple of years ago with the member, and a large number of parents and prospective parents were obviously lobbying to have the new school created. The new school will be known as Ocean Road Primary School. It will open on the first day of the 2001 school year. It is estimated that 306 students will be enrolled from kindergarten to year 12. The school project, like all new schools, is of a superb standard. The capital cost of the project is $4.7m. There will be 12 classrooms, three preprimary classrooms, a new library, obviously a library resource centre, and a covered assembly area. There will also be an education support centre, art-craft and music rooms, administration rooms, a fully automated reticulated oval, tennis courts, netball and basketball facilities. In line with the Government’s computers in classrooms program, computers will be cabled through every classroom in the school. Similar to other schools in this State, it will be a superb school and one of several opening throughout Western Australia next year.
