The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly Cheltenham Minister for Education Minister for Early Childhood Development Minister for Science and Information Economy KAPUNDA PRIMARY SCHOOL The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Minister for Education, Minister for Early Childhood Development, Minister for Science and Information Economy): The Department of Education and Children's Services (DECS) reviewed Kapunda Primary School's energy resource entitlement in line with the agreed funding methodology. DECS staff visited the school on 3 May 2011 and toured the school with the Principal, Governing Council Chair and Vice-Chair. From this visit, a number of energy savings opportunities were identified and a summary report has been developed for the school. DECS will continue to work with the school to assist in implementing energy efficiencies. However, in addition to this increase, as part of the 2011-12 Budget, the government announced $16.6m over 5 years to help address increasing pressures in meeting electricity costs. Kapunda Primary School will also receive extra funding of this new allocation.
