Pasadena High School

Mr SPEIRS (Bright) (15:26): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Now that Pasadena High School parents have voted against the closure of the school, can the minister give a commitment to this school community that their school will not be closed?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (15:26): Broadly, I can. Obviously from time to time schools go through a process of determining whether they will close themselves, or there might be an active ministerial review, but I have absolutely no intention of doing that, absolutely none. I support the decision they have made, that they have decided to stay, and I will work with them to make sure that the school becomes successful.
