Call for more public schools to take on independent status

"The State Government today called for more schools to become Independent Public Schools to build on the success of the initiative.
Education Minister Liz Constable said feedback from the 34 Independent Public Schools that began at the start of the year had been overwhelmingly positive and the schools had already experienced a surge in community involvement.
The Minister said schools that took on independent status - such as Roseworth Primary School in Girrawheen where today’s announcement was made - had the ability to attract high calibre community members to their boards."
