A gym was not mentioned, but I have given the Senator a commitment to get her some information when I can. I can do no more than that. I imagine that the steering group will consider what do to with the site that will not be in use. That opportunity should be discussed, but this is just my personal opinion. Now is the time to have a conversation about whether the other site can release resources to fund a gym. It is difficult to see how the Department could give a commitment on the gym. Resources are tight and the majority are being used to try to fund additional accommodation for new pupils so as to meet demographic demands throughout the country. This is the policy currently. I will get the Senator a note on the gym, now that she has raised the matter.
