Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1394 asked in the Legislative Council on 22 November 2019 by Hon Donna Faragher

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

COMMUNITY KINDERGARTENS

1394. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education and Training:

I refer to the hours and days of operation of community kindergartens.

(1) Can the minister confirm that the configuration of the kindergartens' operating hours is determined by the parent management committee in consultation with the linked school?

(2) If yes, can the configuration be amended by the linked school without the parent management committee's agreement?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) Yes, in consultation with the principal of the linked school, community kindergarten staff, and the community.

(2) The configuration can be amended through joint consultation. Where kindergarten staff are shared across a community kindergarten and the linked primary school, the requirement for consultation is obvious. The needs of both sites must be taken into account when establishing or amending the daily timetable.
