Schools, Year 7 Reform

851 Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (18 June 2019). How much will the capital works cost to move year 7's into high school?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education): I have been advised of the following:

While some of the funds announced for new capital are only necessary to enable capacity for the inclusion of year 7s, it is important to note that a significant proportion is also to meet the growing capacity needs that many of these schools were facing even without the year 7s. It is also noteworthy that a significant proportion of the announced capital investment will go towards specialist learning areas that will benefit other students at the school in addition to the year 7s.

Further details regarding investments to support year 7 moving to high school, along with other capital upgrades, are available online at https://www.education.sa.gov.au/sites-and-facilities/upgrades-and-new-schools/major-school-upgrades.
