Adelaide Botanic High School

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:35): Thank you, sir. In relation to the name of the school, I note that the press release says that there is a process still to go through before the school actually receives the name. Has the government or the minister received any advice that this name won't be appropriate?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:35): The Surveyor-General is crucial in this process in determining what the name of the school can be. The Surveyor-General had initially some misgivings about having a school with the name 'Adelaide' attached, given that one of the reasons that the Surveyor-General is involved in the naming of schools is to be sure that it's clear where the school is and that it's not to be mixed up with other schools. However, the Surveyor-General has indicated that he is happy for us to advance with the process with this particular name. We do have other schools with the name 'Adelaide' in their title—in fact possibly two in the honourable member's electorate or nearby.
