MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 554

Florey Primary School - Transportable Classroom

MR CORNWELL - asked the Minister for Education and Training on notice on 16 February 1993:

(1) Why is an extra pre-fabricated double classroom being installed at Florey Primary School when the school is losing a teacher.

(2) What is the cost of this classroom, including installation.

MR WOOD - the answer to Mr Cornwells question is:

(1) A double classroom transportable building was installed at Florey Primary School because enrolments were projected to exceed the schools capacity. The school requires the transportable classroom in order for it to offer its normal curriculum, including an unusually high number of ESL classes.

The school is not in fact losing a teacher, though the possibility was considered at the start of the 1993 school year.

(2) The cost of this classroom, including installation and associated landscaping was $144,000.
