I propose to take Questions Nos. 197, 198 and 200 together.
The latest enrolment figures supplied by the school are 431 for the quarter ended 30 September 1987 and a projected enrolment of 570 for September 1988. Projections for later years have not been received.
The school currently has a staff of principal and 13 assistants. The position of the school under the new schedule of averages applicable from 1 January 1988 will not be determined until the school returns of averages for the quarter ended 31 December 1987 are available in January 1988. My Department will then communicate with the authorities of the school in the matter.
