I can assure the Deputy that my Department is working to identify potential site options to accommodate the school to which he refers. In addition to the standard requirements for school sites generally, my Department is seeking to address specific additional aspects which may contribute to the overall suitability of a potential location.  

Given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally I am not in a position to provide specific information regarding individual site options at this time. I can, however, assure you that my officials are liaising with the school patron to keep them informed of progress in this regard.
