Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 27 asked in the Legislative Council on 14 March 2018 by Hon Donna Faragher

Parliament: 40 Session: 1


STUDENT-CENTRED FUNDING MODEL — CENTRAL MIDLANDS SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
      27. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education and Training:
I refer to the minister's statement during motions on notice earlier today that the same level of funding will be provided to Central Midlands Senior High School irrespective of the reduction in student numbers that will arise from the closure of Moora Residential College.
(1) Can the minister reconfirm her statement that there will be no reduction in funding to the school?
      (2) If yes to (1), will the minister confirm whether this extra funding will be ongoing or made available only in the 2019 school year?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the member for the question.
      (1)–(2) I can confirm that for 2018, there will be no adjustment to the student-centred funding model allocation that has already been calculated on the basis of the census numbers. The fact that students from that school may leave the school during the course of this year because of the transition arrangements will not have an impact on the school's budget for this year.
Hon Donna Faragher: But what about the out years?
Hon SUE ELLERY: I have given a commitment for this year.
Hon Donna Faragher: Not for next year?
Hon SUE ELLERY: I have given a commitment for this year.
