I thought it might be appropriate to post a press release that the KHS Association released Last Friday. The Mercury did pick it up, but the only words they ran were a quote from my part that said I "had some concerns". I guess it must be hard when you have to fit in everyone's bits and pieces and yet stay impartial and balanced. I'll post the actual article once I've had a chance to scan it. MEDIA RELEASE 15th December, 2006
MINISTER GIVES REASSURANCE THAT THE CURRENT PROCESS TO DEVELOP A NEW SCHOOL AT KINGSTON WILL CONTINUE
At a meeting today, the Minister for Education, David Bartlett gave representatives of Kingborough Council and the Kingston High School Association an assurance that the process currently underway to develop a new high school at Kingston would continue as planned.

We look forward to working with the State and local Governments as well as the local community to deliver a state of the art educational and community facility for the people of Kingborough.”
