    Mon Sue Eller IV1LC Minister for Education and Training Leader of the Legislative Council Your Ref: A686683 (Petition No 50) Our Ref: 61-10474 Hon Matthew Swinbourn MLC Chair Standing Committee on Environment and Public Affairs Email: [email protected] Thank you for your letter dated 10 May 2018 regarding Petition No 50 - Moora Residential College. The McGowan Government has been forced to review every program across every agency in order to identify savings and put the State s finances back on track. Moora Residential College has been identified for closure due to: ® low enrolment numbers; o the urgent need for substantial upgrades to bring this facility up to the standards of other residential colleges; and ® the availability of alternative public boarding options including at Northam, Merredin and Geraldton, as well as the Western Australian Colleges of Agriculture - Morawa and Cunderdin. With respect to the point above about substantial upgrades, you would be aware that on 13 March 2018, I tabled in Parliament all of the building condition reports undertaken at the College since 2007. These reports provide comprehensive information on the facility, prepared by independent consultants who made multiple visits to the site. Therefore, there is no need to authorise any further independent assessments of the building, as some in the Moora community have been requesting. Indeed, the Local Member of Parliament, Mr Shane Love MLA, himself stated during a Grievance in Parliament on 14 September 2017 that the kitchens, bathrooms and dormitories [were] very tired, there is severe cracking in a lot of walls and some real structural deficiencies.

  • Investing in Our Children Education WA
    WA STATE BUDGET 2017-18 INVESTING IN OUR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION Every child deserves a quality education to give them every opportunity to reach their full potential. The McGowan Labor Goverment is committed to giving children a quality education, no matter where they live. Education is a priority and has a lasting impact on Western Australians. It’s crucial that our schools are well equipped and resourced to support students who are there to learn the skills they need to secure decent jobs. EDUCATION AT A GLANCE ■ 470 extra education jobs in public schools will be created. ■ $124.1 million to deliver election commitments which will provide new education initiatives and additional classroom teaching support. ■ $465 million towards public school infrastructure which will create new jobs for WA workers. ■ 11 new schools, 4 performance arts centres and 5 early learning centres will be built. ■ 28 schools across WA will be upgraded. INVESTING IN OUR CLASSROOMS More support in classrooms, including one-on-one attention for students, allows teachers to focus on doing what they do best – educating WA children. From 2018, more education assistants and Aboriginal and Islander Education Officers will be placed in WA schools. Additional teachers will be employed to provide more capacity for Level 3 teachers to improve classroom teaching, oversee the delivery of mental health programs and support regional year 11 and 12 students. ■ That’s an extra 300 education assistants, 120 teachers and 50 Aboriginal and Islander Education officers who will be employed at WA schools over the next few years. ■ 300 extra education assistants will be employed in WA public schools, with most allocated to socially disadvantaged students.
