MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 1051

Government Schools and Colleges -

Sanctuary Rooms

MR CORNWELL - asked the Minister for Education and Training on notice on 19 October 1993:

Has the possibility of providing a "sanctuary room" - a place

for sanctity, privacy and solitude - in Government schools and

colleges been explored; if so, what were the results of the

inquiry; if not, why not. -

MR WOOD - the answer to Mr Cornwells question is:

The need for the provision of a "sanctuary room" in government schools and colleges has not been considered. Other building issues such as occupational health and safety have priority. At least one sick room is provided in each ACT government school.
