*2407 TRANSPORT AND ROADS— AND PERSPEX SCREENS—Mr Primrose asked the Leader of the Government in the Legislative Council, Special Minister of State, Minister for the Public Service and Employee Relations, Aboriginal Affairs, and the Arts, Vice-President of the Executive Council representing the Minister for Transport and Roads— (1) Will uniform size Perspex screens be installed along the entire length of the Newcastle Interchange customer service counter to protect staff? (a) If not, why not? (2) Will a permanent glass shield be installed at the Newcastle Interchange customer service counter to protect staff? (a) If not, why not?

Answer— I am advised:

A risk assessment was conducted at Newcastle Interchange in consultation with staff in regard to the tasks the staff at the customer service desk undertake.

The risk assessment determined that installing the temporary perspex protection screens would reduce the risk of exposure to vomit⁄urine⁄faeces⁄blood⁄spitting.

The screens are not security screens but are intended to prevent accidental or inadvertent airborne particles being transmitted between the employee and customer.

The risk assessment recommended that only two screens should be installed. However a decision was made to install a further two screens along the counter. A review of the additional screens, which are a different height to the original two screens, has led to them being replaced with screens the same size as the original two screens.

Transport for NSW provides masks for customer facing and other frontline people who work in situations where it is difficult to maintain physical distancing. This includes people working on public transport services, at interchanges, at heavy vehicle weighing stations, school crossing supervisors, concierge 3638 Legislative Council Questions and Answers No. 374— Tuesday 3 November 2020

services and in frontline roles such as traffic emergency patrols, boating safety officers and maintenance staff.

In accordance with this policy, individual face shields and masks have been provided for all staff at Newcastle Interchange.

*2419 EDUCATION AND EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING—HIGHLY ACCOMPLISHED ACCREDITATION TIME—Mrs Houssos asked the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning— (1) Are teachers given any extra time to complete the requirements to gain a highly accomplished accreditation? (a) If not, when are teachers expected to undertake this additional work?

Answer— To streamline the accreditation process and save valuable time for teachers some Department programs and individual schools have provided: • class-free time during school hours to complete some of the requirements of their Highly Accomplished accreditation submission, • mentoring and advice from other accredited Highly Accomplished and expert teachers, and • structured online and face to face support on aspects of their submission.

Some requirements to gain accreditation actually occur during class time, such as the observation of a teacher's practice by the principal, by a colleague and by a NESA observer.

*2420 EDUCATION AND EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING—HIGHLY ACCOMPLISHED ACCREDITATION—Mrs Houssos asked the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning— (1) How much does it cost for a teacher to undertake the highly accomplished accreditation including any application fees? Answer— To apply for the higher levels of accreditation, NSW teachers' pay an application fee of either: • $605 to apply for Highly Accomplished Teacher accreditation; or • $715 to apply for Lead Teacher accreditation. The application fees for the higher levels of accreditation contribute to the actual costs of the application process and supporting teachers to achieve higher level accreditation.

Specifically, the fees help to cover the cost of: • supporting applicants through workshops (online and face-to-face) and direct support from NESA officers, • development of resources, • assessment and moderation of applications, • conducting external observations of applicants' teaching practice, and • recognition of successful applicants (printing certificates and yearly recognition ceremony).

It has been estimated that each Highly Accomplished and Lead Teacher application costs $1800 to assess. Application fees in other jurisdictions vary and range from $1500 in Queensland to $1850 in the Northern Territory.

*2422 EDUCATION AND EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING—HALLS PROGRAM—Mrs Houssos asked the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning— (1) What criteria were used to determine the schools that would get new halls or hall upgrades under the 'Halls Program'? Answer— (1) Any major capital works projects are considered in the context of the education needs across the state and are prioritised accordingly.

Answer— (1) The Department of Education constantly monitors population and development trends at schools across NSW to ensure the appropriate educational infrastructure is provided to meet the needs of the school community. Not all NSW public schools will require a school hall. In some instances, schools on shared sites will share hall facilities with the neighbouring school. Some schools may also utilise a multipurpose sports complex or a gymnasium as a school hall facility where appropriate. Individual school sites and educational needs may be assessed for new or upgraded school facilities, such as school halls, as appropriate. Any major capital works projects are considered in the context of the education needs across the state and are prioritised accordingly.

*2428 EDUCATION AND EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING—PERMANENT CLASSROOM CAPACITY - PRIMARY SCHOOLS—Mrs Houssos asked the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning— (1) What percentage of primary schools are over their enrolment cap? Answer— (1) The enrolment cap is not an indication of the enrolment capacity of a school. It is used to indicate that non-local students cannot be enrolled when a school is approaching or exceeding the set enrolment cap, except in exceptional circumstances. As at 1 August 2020, 33.8 per cent of primary schools exceed their enrolment cap.
