DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION —
PLANNING
887. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education and
Training:
I refer to the answer given to
question without notice 864 asked yesterday regarding Woodbridge Primary
School.
(1) With regard
to the two alternative options to amend the local intake areas, will the
minister table the preferred option presented to the affected schools?
(2) When is the work to amend the
local intake areas expected to be completed?
(3) What is the
current student accommodation capacity at Woodbridge Primary School, Guildford
Primary School and Midvale Primary School?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) No. For the
information of the honourable member, it is a longstanding and standard
practice that draft local intake areas are not circulated publicly. The final
version is circulated, so I would be concerned if anyone is circulating the
draft ones.
Hon Donna Faragher: I am just
responding to the question the minister answered yesterday.
Hon
SUE ELLERY: Sure. However, the Department of Education can
provide a briefing for the honourable member on the process undertaken
to develop the local intake area.
(2) Discussions
are continuing with the principals of the affected schools. The work is
expected to be completed by the end of September 2019.
(3) The student
accommodation capacity at Woodbridge Primary School is 430; at Guildford Primary
School, 340, including the off-site kindergarten; and at Midvale Primary
School, 480.
