(6) Has the ACT Government developed a strategy to move established programs at Kambah High, like the Makabetsu exchange program, to other schools, and will these programs be moved back to the new Kambah school in 2011;
(7) What plans does the ACT Government have to move historic pieces in Kambah High, including student achievement boards, to the new Kambah school.
Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) There are no plans to close Wanniassa School.
(2) There are no design plans yet developed for the new school. The Department of Education and Training will be engaging a consultant to undertake an adaptive re-use study of the existing buildings. This study will inform the planning of the site prior to a formal master planning process in 2008.
(3) There are no names being considered for the new P-10 school at present. The usual process is for the principal (when appointed) in consultation with the community, to put forward an appropriate name for the school to the Department for approval.
(4) Yes.
(5) No.
(6) Officers of the Department are working with the school to consider the best possible locations for any established programs that need to be relocated. As an example, it has been determined that the two special education programs will move to Melrose High School from 2008.
Decisions on the programs to be offered at the Kambah P-10 school will occur as part of the consultation process for the new school.
(7) All school memorabilia from Kambah High School will be catalogued and placed into storage. When the new principal is appointed he/she will decide on the appropriate location for memorabilia in consultation with the community.
