MINISTER FOR HEALTH, EDUCATION AND THE ARTS
Hawker Primary School
QUESTION TAKEN ON NOTICE, 9 AUGUST 1990
Ms Follett asked the Minister for Health, Education and the Arts:
What provision will the Government make to ensure that there is adequate playground provision for the children who will move to Hawker from Weetangera bearing in mind that I am fairly certain you have said there would be a couple of demountables there as well?
Mr Humphries - the answer to Ms Folletts question is:
The Hawker Primary School playground is fully available to the school -no other organisation holds a lease over the site.
The Capital Bible Church holds a lease over land to the north of the school. This land is not part of the Hawker School site.
The school has a site of just over 3.3 hectares (about the same size as the Weetangera Primary School) and buildings are located towards the southern end, leaving a relatively large playground area.
Officers from the Ministry have assessed accommodation requirements for next year and consider that provision of transportable units on the site will not have a significant impact on the available playground areas.
In addition, as with most primary schools, there are community playing fields nearby (accessible via an underpass under Murranji Street) for activities requiring larger open spaces.
