PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE: GLENUNGA INTERNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL REDEVELOPMENT

Mr ODENWALDER (Little Para) (11:13): I move:

That the 444th report of the committee, entitled Glenunga International High School Redevelopment, be noted.

It is proposed to redevelop Glenunga International High School with a budget of $15.764 million dollars. Funds of $10 million were included in the 2010-11 state budget for the redevelopment of this school. Additional funding of $5.764 million was provided from the $60 million Expanding Our Schools Initiative as part of the 2011-12 Mid-Year Budget Review process. This program will provide additional accommodation in the following high schools: Adelaide High School, Brighton Secondary School, Marryatville High School and Glenunga International High School.

The redevelopment of Glenunga will provide new and significantly upgraded existing accommodation to provide facilities for an additional 100 students. It will include a new two-storey building comprising a resource centre, 10 classrooms and student and international student services and amenities, a redeveloped art, music and drama studio, redeveloped science laboratories, redeveloped staffroom, administration and teacher preparation spaces, a PE office and change rooms, IT infrastructure and power upgrades.

Construction on stage 1 is expected to be complete by July 2013 and stages 2 and 3 are to be complete by January 2014. So, given this, and pursuant to section 12(c) of the act, the Public Works Committee reports to parliament that it recommends these works.

Mr PENGILLY (Finniss) (11:14): Once again, we support this project. It was interesting to have Wendy Johnson, the principal, in. Wendy was formerly principal of Victor Harbor High School. Glenunga International High School is very much a leading public school in South Australia and it is a very good project. I wish it well, and the opposition supports it.

Motion carried.
