DET fails to act on issues, school forced to close

The Western Advocate in Bathurst is today running an article about the forthcoming closure of Newbridge Public School. The school will be placed in "review" from 2010 to 2012, at which time the department may dispose of it if it is not re-opened.

In the article, Wayne Moore, a parent has accused the NSW Department of Education and Training as being "secretive" and claims that the department knew of problems at the school and has failed to act, which has led to parents transferring 13 of the school's 16 to other schools.

Mr Moore said “It seems that the NSW Government, and specifically the Department of Education, are up to their old tricks - tell people that everything is OK and then double cross them just before the festive season”.

Newbridge Public School is located within the Orange School District in the department's Western region.

Edward James was in the offices of the Western Advocate on thye 9 of November. They were not interested in reporting the protest which went on on that day. It is a fact that the local paper will claim issues are before the court. or sub judicery. this is garbarge because we the people are pursuing our political entitlements and the issues before the court are in another place. You have a vote and you have a right. What you do with it is entirly up to you.
Cheers Edward James
