          <by role="member" id="4622">The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:57):</by>  Modbury High School is clearly an excellent high school. We have many good high schools and schools indeed in this state, and I would like to take this opportunity to point out that there is increasingly a trend for parents to feel that there are only certain schools that are good enough for their children. That is not the case. The soundness of the education system, and it is expressed at Modbury High School, is that it is a good system. It is backed up by broad services that support all of the schools. So, while I do celebrate the achievements of Modbury High School, I do so in the context of the entire system being a strong one.</text>
