Bid Overthrown For Oatley Campus
My uni, UNSW, is trying to get rid of a remote campus. Throughout the past year, my old high school, Trinity, has been trying to acquire it offering $19 million for it. Now, it has been “sold” to the government for $4 million. Rumours have it that one of the reasons Trinity wanted this extra campus (which would house years 7-9), which is situated South of Sydney to not only enrol more students from other areas, but to bolster the school’s sports teams (rugby, especially) – apparently after year 9, students from the two junior schools would merge into the same, single campus. Pretty weird, but I wouldn’t put it past the new guy in charge (the same guy that was quoted saying these these things: “…recognise the economic… err… educational advantages of the IB [International Baccalaureate]” and “We all have a role to pay. I mean, play.”). Deal’s off, thankfully.
