GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:17):</by>  Given that the minister has said those apprentices will be supported to come to another campus, potentially in the metropolitan area, to do their capstone tests, but the opposition has been advised they haven't been advised of this yet, can the minister advise when those apprentices will be able to undertake those capstone tests? Can he guarantee that their apprenticeships will not need to be extended?</text>

BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills) (14:17):</by>  The advice I have is that that communication has begun. I will have to go back and check about whether what the member for Morialta is saying is correct or not in terms of students not being advised. When I heard about the vacancies that were present at the South-East campus, of course the question I asked was, 'What are we doing to make sure students aren't affected and to make sure that they don't have to have their apprenticeship extended?'</text>
        <text id="20240516d8aa69593bed40dc80000302">The advice I have been given so far is that it won't need to be extended, but I will go away and ask exactly what communication has taken place with the students who are affected at the South-East campus and how quickly they can be supported to get to, in this case, the Regency campus to make sure they can come and complete the capstone exam and complete their qualifications on time.</text>
