Box 196 180 O'Hea Street,Coburg,3058 Pascoe Vale South Phone: 03 93541660 3044 Fax: 03 93548206 Email: [email protected] [email protected] Principal: Mrs. Helen Zull 11/07/2011 To the Minister of Education The Honourable Martin Dixon Dear Minister, I am writing on behalf of the Coburg North Primary School Council and community to express our support for the campaign to establish an open entry years 7-12 high school in the Coburg area. Coburg North is a small primary school currently with 145 enrolments. Five years ago our enrolment was around 100. This year is the f irst time in some years that we have had two prep classes. This pattern looks certain to continue which means we will increase by one class each year for the next six years. The other primary schools in the area have reported the same growth patterns. Our grade six students disperse to a range of secondary colleges, none are strictly l ocal. When prospective parents are shown around the school one of their main concerns is where they will send their children to secondary school. We have already l ost families who have sold their homes to move to an a rea where they can send their children to a local secondary school. And I know others who are considering a similar path. In the past five years only two of our grade six students have enrolled at the rebadged high schools in North Moreland. Parents in Coburg North are not willing to consider these schools as one of their options. The Coburg North community urges the government to make the provision for an open entry 7-12 high school in Coburg a priority. Sincerely Cara Hughes School Council President Coburg North Primary
