Beachport Primary School

Mr McBRIDE (MacKillop) (14:43): My question is to the Minister for Education. Will the minister invest in school infrastructure at Beachport Primary? Mr Speaker, with your leave and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr McBRIDE: Beachport Primary is in extremely poor condition and the governing council needs funding for its plans for an integrated school, preschool and early learning centre.

The Hon. B.I. BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills) (14:43): I do think I answered this question in the last sitting week but I am happy to reiterate that I visited Beachport only a few weeks ago at the request of the local member and the school and the governing council to have a look at their infrastructure there, which I did, and I said quite frankly it needs work but it is not the only school in that category. I made a commitment to go away and work with the department on what can be done, and that's exactly what I am going to do.
