Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 569 asked in the Legislative Council on 12 September 2017 by Hon Donna Faragher

Parliament: 40 Session: 1


INDEPENDENT PUBLIC SCHOOLS INITIATIVE
      569. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education and Training:
The PRESIDENT: We wish Hon Donna Faragher a very happy birthday today.
Hon DONNA FARAGHER: It is great to be 21, Madam President!
I refer to the independent public schools initiative.
      (1) Will further opportunities be given to non-IPS schools to apply to become independent public schools in the future?
(2) If yes to (1), when will those opportunities be provided?
(3) If no to (1), why not?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
      (1)–(3) Yes. I do not see any reason why there would not be more such opportunities. I have no plans for there not to be, but I must admit that I have not asked for advice on the timing of the most recent round or when the next round should be. I can assure the member that I have no intention for there not to be opportunities.
