Petition

The following petition was lodged for presentation, by Mr Doszpot, from 621 residents:

Arawang primary school—petition No 126

TO THE SPEAKER AND MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

This petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that:

The Arawang Primary School has announced plans to move their Early Intervention Unit from the Waramanga Pre-school campus to the Weston Pre-School campus from 2012 onwards, displacing half of Weston Pre-Schools’ enrolments to the Waramanga campus. This decision was made by the Arawang Principal and Primary School board without any consultation with the Weston Creek community, part-way through the pre-school enrolment process for 2012.

For many families this change at such a late stage has caused serious disruption and upset for parents who have made enrolment decisions based on the belief their child would be able to attend the Weston Campus.
