My Department is fully aware of the need to provide permanent accommodation for the school to which he refers. Its preferred option in this regard is the use of an existing building. To achieve this, it commenced amalgamation discussions with existing schools in the area. These discussions have now been completed and I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the schools involved have agreed to amalgamate. This will result in a vacant building. My Department is now working to acquire this building to accommodate the school in question.
