    As stated by Education and Training Minister Sue Ellery:

    “We are delivering high-quality facilities that meet their education and personal needs, but also provide the best opportunities to successfully transition to employment or further study.

    “This significant investment will create jobs for Western Australians and provide important education support facilities for families in our eastern suburbs.”

    As stated by Kalamunda MLA Matthew Hughes:

    “It is essential students with a disability have access to the specialist support they need within their local area.

    “Since 2017 I have worked with the school communities to ensure Kalamunda Senior High School and the Education Support Centre receive this investment.”
