On the 16 May 2007, I announced the provision of a new second level school for the Kinvara area. This decision was and remains subject to the Trustees of Seamount College accepting first year students each year in that school until the end of the 2011/2012 school year.

As part of this announcement, I indicated that I had instructed my officials to enter into discussions with the Trustees on the proposals. Department officials subsequently met the Trustees to discuss these proposals and recent correspondence has been exchanged.
