The petition is in response to the decision by the Minister for Education not to a . 6 tile 'm of the condition on the registration of the Esperance Anglican Community School (EACS) for Year 11/12 in 201.1, ason given by the Minister was that such an action would have a detrimental effect on the upper secondary (Year 11 and 12) educational program of Esperance Senior High School (ESHS). The petitioners who represent families of Esperance and the surrounding regions serviced by the Esperance Anglican Community School believe that the Minister has erred in her decision and I support the view of the petitioners. The Minister, in making her decision, discussed four main reasons for her conclusion which I will address as follows: 1. Source of Year 11 Cohort for EACS The Minister has concluded that the major source of enrolment for the year 11 cohort would be from ESHS and this would have a detrimental impact on current programmes. However, in spite of the closure of the Ravensthorpe Nickel Mine, enrolments at Esperance Senior High School are significantly up, particularly in Year 11 and 12 in 2009 in comparison to the previous year. Year 11 has 236 students in 2009 compared to 200 in 2008 and Year 12 has 162 in Year 12 compared to 130 in 2008.
