The Department of Education has launched a consultation process to gauge opinions about secondary schooling for families living in the Cannington area and the broader south-east metropolitan region.
As part of the consultation process, the Department will put options to the community to produce a more seamless education in the area.
Currently, Cannington Community College enrols students from kindergarten to Year 10. Yule Brook College, located in Maddington, caters for Years 7 to 10 and Sevenoaks Senior College in Cannington caters for Years 11 and 12.
In addition, Cannington Community Education Support Centre operates as a Year 7-to-12 school across two campuses — Cannington Community College and Sevenoaks Senior College.
Minister for Education and Training, Sue Ellery said the eight-week consultation would involve school communities including parents, prospective parents, school boards and councils and parents and citizens’ associations.
“Staff and other community members will also be invited to provide their opinions at community forums and in an online survey,” Ms Ellery said.
“We want to make sure that local families receive the best possible education in their local areas.”
She said she looked forward to hearing from the community “and taking on board their opinions to continue to provide students with a range of high-quality learning opportunities close to home”.
