Mr MILLS - 2006-08-31
In 2007, Casuarina Senior College will have over 1250 students. Last week, staff at the college were advised by your department that it is considering providing alternative locations for classes because the promised facilities will not be ready until March. Dance and drama facilities and areas for physical education classes will not be in place. Does this mean that students will be bussed between Dripstone High School and Casuarina Senior College for their classes in 2007?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Blain for his question. If I receive further advice before the end of Question Time, I will pass it on to the member for Blain. My information is that there is only one particular area of Casuarina Senior College that would not be ready until March. It is an outdoor teaching space anticipated by the college council now that it would not be ready until March. It is accepted by them as a minor inconvenience and would not be in place for a part of term one only. If there is further information in relation to the points of the question raised by the member for Blain that I need updating on, I am sure that I have staff listening and that information will be down to me before the end of Question Time.
