No problem.

I thank the Minister for his very thorough response. I understand the many constraints in terms of his position. Some of the questions I posed were perhaps direct but they were deliberately so and that is a direct response to the deep levels of frustration among that school community. A Department official said to the principal that her role is to keep the school community positive but that is getting increasingly difficult. They mainly want to know if there is hope of the community having a permanent school. Will their most precious resources, their children, be looked after on the temporary site? Can the Minister indicate when the technical assessment, which might bring some clarity, will be completed?
