PRINCIPALS' HOTLINE
1176. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the Minister for Education and
Training:
I refer to the revelation in May
this year that the minister would launch hotlines for principals and students.
(1) Are they separate phone lines
or the same number?
(2) Are the calls being managed
through a call centre or directly through the minister's office?
(3) How many calls has the minister
received to date from —
(a) principals; and
(b) students?
Hon STEPHEN DAWSON
replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. This answer is provided on behalf of the Minister
for Education and Training, and I note that it is in her tense, so it is her
speaking.
(1)–(2) I
host the hotlines at an allocated time on different days, utilising either my
ministerial or electorate office telephone
number, depending on my location on that day. The calls are managed directly
through my office.
(3) (a) There have been 11.
(b) There have been calls from
students from 22 schools.
