Mercury, Thursday 23 October 1952, page 7

PLANS to accommodate the big increase in school population in the northern suburbs of Hobart were discussed yesterday by the Prernier (Mr. Cosgrove) with a deputation from the Lutan branch of the A..L.P.

Members of the deputation said they were concerned regarding the school accommodation in the Moonah and Goodwood areas. It was anticipated
that at the beginning of the new school year about another 200 children would reach the school age in these districts.
 
Information was sought regarding future accommodation. It was pointed out that if more accommodation was not provided it would not be possible for all reaching the school age to attend the Moonah and Bowen Rd. schools.
 
' The Premier said he had been watching the position closely, and the Government was doing its best to provide extra accommodation for the districts.
 
The erection of Mussett classrooms at the Bowen Rd. and Moonah schools had helped the position, and the Public Works Department would be calling tenders on Saturday week for the erection of the first section of the new primary school at Goodwood.
 
This would comprise four classrooms, and it was hoped to have the building in readiness for thc beginning of the new school year.
 
That building would overcome the present problem, but within the next couple of years it would be necessary for extra accommodation at Glenorchy, although an infants' school had recently been completed there.

Mr. Neilson said the Premier (Mr/ Cosgrove) had told him the Government had no intention of selling the service.

He said he had expressed opposition to any sale following representations by the Lutana-Prince of Wales branch of the A.L.P.
