LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NUMBER 161
Why was the position of principal at Melba High School not filled in February when it was known in November that a vacancy existed.
MR STEFANIAK - the answer to Ms McRae's question is:
The principal of Melba High School submitted an application for leave without pay, dated 27 November 1995. The leave was approved by the department, with the principal accepting the leave without pay conditions on 13 December 1995, this was too late for the position to be advertised before the end of the school year.
The position was advertised by broadcast fax together with seven other principal positions on 29 January 1996 and was also advertised in the Commonwealth Gazette of 1 February 1996.
To minimise disruption to schools, the date of effect for these appointments was advertised as 15 April 1996, the first day of Term 2. Applications for these positions closed on 15 February 1996; selection processes are in progress.
