With regard to private schools who receive subsidies on their interest payments: a) How does the Department check or audit that the money is spent on activities that have been agreed to? b) Will the Department release reports which result from these checks? (Hansard page 9)

ANSWER:

An application for subsidy must be filed with the Department within one year of the date of signing of the contract or when there is no building contract (small project), within one year from the date on which any construction commenced, for which payment is due, evidenced by a statement from the builder.

The application includes the cost of the project. Most projects are completed within the 12 month period and therefore applications are generally received after the completion of the project.

All applications are accompanied by:

(a) floor and site plans;

(b) copy of financial section of the building contract and a certification from the lending authority outlining the details of the loan;

(c) copy of relevant Municipal/Shire Council development building approval;

(d) itemised schedule of the nature, cost and supplier of ground improvement; and

(e) itemised schedule of professional fees.

Any variation to the initial contract is itemised and notified to the Department by the school, with the application. As variations will change the value of the project application, the variation to the initial contract (price and specifications)

documentation, provided with an application, ensures the Department is aware of modifications to building plans.

QUESTION 10

(b) What is the home school liaison officer student ratio in primary and secondary schools? (Hansard page 25)

ANSWER:

(a)-(b) The ratio of home school liaison officers to students varies between education districts, as these officers are allocated to areas on the basis of average daily absence rates, not on the number of students. This ensures that districts with a higher need for support have a greater number of officers.

QUESTION 11

Mrs Forsythe asked the Minister for Education and Training and the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, the Hon Dr Andrew Refshauge MP -

Has any longitudinal study been undertaken on students who have been taken out of their normal schools and have been attending suspension centres as to their long-term position back in their normal schools? (Hansard page 26)

ANSWER:

Eleven new behaviour schools provide students with a high level of support to increase their literacy, numeracy and social skills.
