Mr McGowan and Butler MLA John Quigley were outside Yanchep District High School last Friday calling for a $10.5 million upgrade to the school to proceed after it was left out of the state budget this year.

Education Minister Peter Collier said the budget focused on savings and so they had deferred the upgrades, but would consider them in future budget processes.

A spokesman for the minister said he did not have any confirmed plans to visit Yanchep but they were currently planning school visits for 2014 and would consider accommodating schools across the north metropolitan education region.
