Question Without Notice No. 925 asked in the Legislative Council on 10 November 2021 by Hon Donna Faragher

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT CENTRES

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

I refer to the five language development centres operated by the Department of Education.

For each centre, will the minister advise —

(a) the current 2021 enrolment capacity;

(b) the total number of enrolment applications received for the 2021 school year; and

(c) the total number of students currently enrolled?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

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

(a) Language development centres are typically co-located with other primary schools. For each language development centre, enrolments are influenced by available classroom accommodation at each school site. This may vary from year to year.

(b)–(c) The next part of the answer is in tabular form, and I seek leave to have it incorporated into Hansard.

[Leave granted for the following material to be incorporated.]
