HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [6.50 pm]: Justifiably, education is receiving a lot of attention at the moment, so I rise this evening to draw members’ attention to an ongoing issue for western suburbs schools. The previous government had planned to deal with overcrowding in western suburbs schools by reopening City Beach high school. To do that, the two private schools that had been renting space on the site were to move. That meant that the Japanese School in Perth was to go to City Beach Primary School.
