Any list naming schools for potential closure is totally disrespectful to our school communities.
Has nothing been learnt from the past?
Every time schools are publically named the damage done to those communities is irreparable.
It is quite simply pointless publishing any list, regardless of formula used, until the recommendations from the School Viability Reference Group are complete.
Following extensive communication with stakeholders the school home area work was very near complete – this must be finalized. School Transport must then also be addressed.
‘I commend the Minister for his assurance that no school will be forced to close, TASSO are here to assist our school communities and I encourage any school or individual parent seeking support to contact our office.
I also call on the State Government to complete the recommendations of the School Viability Reference Group ’said TASSO President, Jenny Eddington.
